Practicing English Speaking Through Duolingo Application For Senior High School Students
This study explores senior high school students’ experiences in practicing English speaking through the Duolingo application. In the digital era, mobile applications such as Duolingo are widely used to support language learning outside the classroom. Using a narrative qualitative approach, this research involved three students who regularly used Duolingo. Data were collected through interviews and documentation and analyzed using thematic analysis based on Brown’s (2004) five aspects of speaking: pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. The findings revealed that Duolingo effectively supports speaking practice through repetitive and interactive features, including pronunciation correction, structured grammar exercises, contextual vocabulary exposure, and speaking drills. Students reported increased confidence and improvement across all five speaking aspects, although some challenges remained in transferring skills to spontaneous conversation. The study concludes that Duolingo is a beneficial supplementary tool for speaking development and recommends its integration with interactive speaking activities for better fluency and communicative competence. This study contributes both theoretically and practically, it supports Brown's speaking theory in a modern learning context and provides empirical insight into how mobile-assisted language learning applications like Duolingo can enhance speaking skills among high school learners.
