INTRODUCTION

1.1 The Background of Study

English is one the international languages because many countries use English

to there communication easier between people around the word.Britannica (2015)

states that English, originating from England, is the dominant language in many

countries around the world. This means that many countries in the world use English.

The ability to speak English helps build real connections with many people and we

can learn more about their cultures, places, lifestyles, and open up job opportunities

not only in one country but in others. Not only that, we can learn about the cultures of

other countries and gain more insights or knowledge.Since English laguange has

become the most popular foreign language in Indonesia,every level of education

provides English language as a learning subject.

In learning English,there are four skills.Those are listening,speaking,writing

and reading.Besides,the four skills mentioned, that be mastered by

students.Vocabulary and grammar are also very important in learning

English.Vocabulary is key aspect in learning a new language.Nurgiyantoro

(2014:338) states that vocabulary is the wealth of words found in a language that will

form a communication.
 According to Azizah (2020),vocabulary is one of the most important components

in English language learning. Alearner who just learns grammar without vocabulary

will find difficulties in express I what he or she wants to say.Wardani (2015) states

that vocabulary is a crucial aspect of language, as it appears in every language skill,

including listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It can be concluded from this

statement that vocabulary is a primary factor in a language, as it is needed for

speaking, reading, and writing. This means that a person's low language proficiency

is closely related to the amount of vocabulary they possess.Vocabulary is the basic

component in learning English especially for English foreign learners. Vocabulary is

all the words that is used by people when delivering the language both in written text

or oral speech and those words are having meaning. Based on Cambridge dictionary

vocabulary is all the words known and used by a particular person, language or

subject.From those explanations about vocabulary it can be concluded that

vocabulary mastery is an ability that exists in a person to be able to master and

understand about a word that exists in a language that is the basic for communication

known by averyone.

Based on the 2013 Curriculum Education Syllabus for SMA/SMK/MA level

regarding the graduation target for SMA/SMK/MA Students,the four language skills

need to complement integrated language skill.Thus students must first have a rich

vocabulary before mastering these language skills.According to Wati

(2021),vocabulary skills in English subjects play an important role in understanding

the material to be taught.This is because the ability to master vocabulary is the basis

for learning a language.Based on the explanation above,vocabulary takes the first

point to be mastered to achieve the goals of learning English as stated in the

curriculum.In general,not all school can easily achieve the objectives of learning

English as stated in the curriculum.Each school encountered and the solutions needed

to overcome them is teaching vocabulary.

In the learning process,there are some factors that are influence teaching learning

process,one of them is motivation. Motivation is an important thing to exist within a

student especially the motivation in learning. According to Uno (2012:3) “

motivation is the encouragement that they are within someone to make changes in

better behavior it needs.”Ac The motivation as change energy someone that driving

into the real activity to reach a certain purpose. Motivation can provide a great

influence on someone‟s life. Uno (2012:5) said that “The motivation is the process of

psychology that can explain the behavior of someone. The nature of behavior is

orientation on one goal. In other words, the behavior of someone is designed to reach

the purpose. To achieve that goal needed a process of interaction some of elements.

Thus, the motivation is a force encourage the person does something to reach the

goal”. In teaching and learning, motivation is very needed by students to study hard,

to get good score and get the goal. Motivation is very important especially in learning

process. If someone who have high motivation in learning they can have a bright
future ahead and motivation is very good for them. Motivation is used to explain the

degree to which students invest attention and effort in various pursuits.

According to Dauletova (2022), Vocabulary is considered as one of the

essential aspects of acquiring language and its development. Limited vocabulary

range prohibits succeeding in learning language, in particular, for second language

learners since it never ends. However learning a new language is not easy for foreign

language learner, especially Indonesian students who have different language rule

within their mother tongue and English. They have to learn from word to word with

different pronunciation, spelling, meaning, and the word use. Even though Indonesia

and English use the same alphabetic in written form, there are some differences with

the way how to pronounce the word. A conventional teaching and learning process,

where teacher explain material in front of classroom then students listen and take

notes from the explanation, was commonly used in Indonesia impacted to the lack of

student's vocabulary acquisition. Therefore teachers should be more creative in

customize their teaching techniques to motivate the students to gain many

vocabularies. Using media was suggested to help teachers teach vocabulary easily.

Based on the observation conducted at SMAN I Demon Pagong, the researcher

found various types of difficulties experienced by students in learning English, the

causes were related to the appearance of the vocabulary learning given that was less

attractive, students' motivation to learn was low, and students did not have a lot of

English vocabulary. The low motivation of students and low awareness of the
importance of vocabulary mastery really need to be changed. From the description

above, the researcher assumes that there must be an appropriate approach, methods,

or media in teaching vocabulary to overcome this problem. A method, approach, or

media that will accommodate the improvement of students' vocabulary skills.

The one media that can be used by teachers in teaching students' English

vocabulary mastery is to use wordwall as learning media.According to Tompkins et

al. (2015), a wordwall is a list of words arranged alphabetically by the teacher in class

to develop words and vocabulary. The wordwall is a media to strengthen a core

vocabulary of the particular subject. Teaching vocabulary using the word walls media

will be helped the students to enrich their vocabulary because it is effortless to use in

a class. Teaching vocabulary using the word walls media can help students memorize

vocabulary in learning English.

Wordwall learning media displays a collection of words arranged methodically to

give the appearance of the terms required to compose sentences (Arsini et al., 2022).

Wordwallhas been used for quite some time. When students engage in face-to-face

instruction that uses wordwall media, the words displayed on the wordwall will be

simple for them to read and remember (Monita & Sihombing, 2015). It is the same as

when used in traditional classes the only difference is that modern versions of

Wordwall use more advanced technology. Wordwall is a new way for teachers to use

media to help students learn.Researchers pay progressively more attention to the use

of technological media in education.Wordwall is an educationally entertaining

website that offers a variety of vocabulary-building games, which can be played

interactively or individually (Çil, 2021; Hasram et al., 2021; Le, 2021). These games

include picture matching, information matching, quizzes, wheel of fortune, puzzles,

and other similar activities. The games that teachers play on this website are either

ones that they make themselves using pre-made templates and to which they add their

content (words and images), or else there are games that they use other teachers made

that. Wordwall was initially conceived of as a piece of computer software however, in

2016, the website counterpart to the software was created, and ever since then, the

website has seen significantly more usage than the software itself.

Through wordwall, there are many benefits for students and teachers in a process

of learning vocabulary. The media have several advantages: Firstly, the media gives

visuals to students that will help them to remember the relationships among words.

Secondly, the media functions as vital equipment to help students learn to read and

spell new words. Thirdly, the media can foster students’ independence. Fourthly, the

media can promote reading and writing. The last, the media can hold students

responsible for spelling certain words correctly every time.

Wordwall give a diversity of the new vocabulary that can be mastered by students

and provide more meaningful, and fun atmosphere for learning vocabulary in the

classroom.Wordwall can train the student’s brain to recall the new words and make

students feel more fun,relaxed,and enjoyable.Based on the background above,the

researcher would like to conduct a study with the title “Analysis Influence Of The
Wordwall Media On The Motivation To Learn English Vocabulary In Tenth-Grade

Students At Sman 1 Demon Pagong”

1.2 Research Question

motivation to learn English vocabulary.

1.4 Significance of the Study

In this the researcher hopes that the results of this research will be

beneficial.The significance of the study as follows:

1. For Students

Increased interest and engagement students in learning English

vocabulary. Wordwall's interactive and game based nature makes learning

more enjoyable and stimulating, leading to increased student interest and

engagement. This translates to improved motivation, better understanding of

concepts, and a more positive attitude towards learning.

2. For Teachers

Teacher friendly and easy to use: Wordwall is a user-friendly platform

that allows teachers to create engaging learning activities with ease. This

accessibility makes it a valuable tool for educators seeking to enhance their

teaching practices.

Enhanced teaching strategies: Wordwall provides teachers with a new

and effective tool to diversify their teaching strategies, making lessons more

engaging and interactive. This can lead to a more dynamic and stimulating

learning environment for students.

3. For English Departments

Vocabulary Development: Wordwall is particularly effective for

teaching vocabulary in English, as it provides a fun and engaging way for

students to learn new words and practice their usage.

 Language Skills Enhancement: Wordwall can be used to enhance

various language skills, including reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

This makes it a versatile tool for English departments to support students'

overall language development.

Collaborative Learning: Wordwall can facilitate collaborative learning

activities, allowing students to work together on tasks and learn from each

other. This fosters a more interactive and engaging learning environment.

4. For Further Research

Researchers get learning experiences directly and can carry out action

activities to overcome problems encountered in class. Additionally, the results

of the study were laid as the basis for the thesis which was the researcher's

final task for college graduation and an English university degree.

1.5 Scope and Limitation

From the identification of the problems set out in this study, it is necessary to

limit the problem so that the study carried out is more focused on the problems to be

solved. This study only focuses on vocabuly teaching using the Wordwall media

specifically taught to tenth grade students at SMAN 1Demon Pagong.

In this study, researchers used the Wordwall media in teaching vocabulary

skills because previously in this tenth grade students at SMAN 1 Demon Pagong
the teaching had not used the wordwall media so that it could affect student learning

outcomes. The Wordwall media can be applied to any tenth grade material that is

more focused on teaching vocabulary.

1.6 Definitions of Key Terms

There were some definitions or words used in this study that need further

explanation on order to avoid readers’s confusion.They were vocabulary,wordwall

and motivation.The explanation as followed:

1.Vocabulary

The definition of vocabulary is a collection of words that are combined so that

they can have meaning or meaning. This vocabulary cannot be separated from

four language skills, such as speaking, reading, writing, and listening.

Furthermore, vocabulary is the most important part of foreign language learning,

where students are required to master word for word so as to allow students

vocabulary mastery is improving. Thus, it can be concluded that continuous

learning of students' vocabulary mastery will certainly make it easier for students

to learn a language fluently, especially in English.

2.Wordwall

Wordwall is a list of words arranged alphabetically by the teacher in class to

develop words and vocabulary. The wordwall is a media to strengthen a core

vocabulary of the particular subject. Teaching vocabulary using the word walls

media will be helped the students to enrich their vocabulary because it is

effortless to use in a class. Teaching vocabulary using the word walls media can

help students memorize vocabulary in learning English.

3.Motivation

Motivation is the driving force that initiates, guides, and maintains goal-

oriented behaviors. It's the reason why we do things, whether it's studying for an

exam, exercising, or pursuing a hobby.

 CHAPTER II

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Teaching English

Teaching English is a dynamic and rewarding profession that involves a blend

of art and science. To be an effective English teacher, we need to understand the

nuances of the language, the psychology of learning, and the art of creating engaging

lessons. Teaching English refers to the processes and methods used to teach English

as a foreign language. According to Islamiyah (2011), the goal of English language

instruction for children is to develop communicative competence. In addition, English

language instruction also has implications for learning the culture of the native

speakers of that language, as explained in recent research on glocal English language

instruction.Futhermore Islamiyah (2011),say that teaching English language

instruction for children aims to equip them with good communication skills.

In addition, Rahmadhita (2020), in English language learning, there are

several skills in teaching English, as follows:

1. Listening: Listening skills are very important in understanding spoken

English. Research shows that effective teaching methods can improve

students' listening skills.

2. Speaking: Speaking skills are the main focus of many studies. For example,

research on project-based learning shows an improvement in students'

speaking skills.
 3. Reading: Reading skills are also a concern, where the development of

appropriate learning models can help students understand texts better.

4. Writing: Writing skills require consistent practice. Researchers emphasize the

importance of learning methods that support mastery of this skill.

Besides,the four skills mentioned, that be mastered by students.Vocabulary and

grammar are also very important in learning English.Vocabulary is key aspect in

learning a new language.Nurgiyantoro (2014:338) states that vocabulary is the wealth

of words found in a language that will form a communication.

From the explanation above, it can be concluded that in teaching English,

there are several important skills that need to be learned, one of which is vocabulary.

Because vocabulary is the basis for communication, without a large vocabulary,

students cannot communicate.

2.2 Vocabulary

Vocabulary is the basic knowledge of language proficiency which determine

the learner’s quality of speaking, listening, reading, and writing. By mastering

vocabulary, students can easily understand the lesson that delivered by teacher. As

Alemi and Tayebi (2012:1) states that vocabulary is the basis component of language

proficiency which provides the basis for learners’ performance in other skill, such as:

speaking, reading, listening, and writing. According to Napa (in Badingatussalamah,

2013:2) “vocabulary is the components of language and no language exist without

words.” Meanwhile, Hornby (in Wakidah, 2013:1) states that vocabulary is the total
numbers of words in language. Vocabulary according to Linse (Inayatul, 2013)

"Vocabulary is the collection of words that an individual knows". This statement can

be interpreted that vocabulary is a collection of words that everyone knows.

Fajriyah (Inayatul, 2013) explained that vocabulary is a component of English

which has an important role in understanding reading and expressing all ideas in

written or spoken form. Students can get vocabulary from dictionaries, glossaries at

the back of English books and so on. Vocabulary will always be in students' minds if

students always use it and will disappear if students don't use it. Because of the large

list of words, the method of learning is important for students to master vocabular

From the definitions above, it can be concluded that vocabulary is all the

words in language and which enhance the skill in language. Because mastering

language is impossible without vocabulary and vocabulary mastery is the basic

requirement in learning English.

2.3 Teaching Vocabulary

Teaching vocabulary is the process of helping learners acquire new words and

their meanings. According to, Alqahtani (2015), say that, Teaching vocabulary is a

crucial aspect in learning a language as languages are based on words. In addition,

according to, Pido & Dewi (2019), say that, Regarding the teaching of English

vocabulary, especially in Indonesia, the government has included it in the 2013

curriculum at which students must be able to try, process, assemble, and make

sentences orally and written in English. Furthermore, according to, De Castro (2016),
argues that technology can be used as an instrument that assists students in

vocabulary learning and teaching. Apps, games and the like can (and should) provide

significant learning and facilitate the teacher's task of stimulating and motivating

students in acquiring a foreign language in a fun and effective way.

Graves (2012), stated that provide rich and varied language experience can

help students to develop their vocabulary. Teacher must preview the reading

materials to determine which words are unfamiliar for the students. Student learn the

words that they never know before, and the words will be defined and discussed.

Then, teacher must give the explanation about the word, not only meaning but also

the context and grammar. In addition according to Al Zahrani and Chaudary(2022),

In teaching English, strategy is really needed because it is very important in handling

students. Therefore teaching vocabulary really challenges teachers to use the right

media to involve students in learning.

From the explanation above, it can be concluded that teaching English

vocabulary must pay attention selection of media and learning materials that are

relevant and not boring. So that students can easily understand and be motivated to

participate in learning.

2.4 Motivation In Learning Vocabulary

Motivation in learning vocabulary has a large role in learning a foreign

language because, this is really needed by society in the modern era. so students must

have high motivation in mastering vocabulary learning.According to Kompri (2015),

defined motivation as an individual’s impulse to determine behaviour in a certain way

according to the intended purpose.Futhermore,Ormrod (2011),say that motivation is

revived, gives direction, and maintains behavior. Motivation is an indicator or

supporting media for every human being that raises high morale and has full

responsibility for the work. Motivation cannot be seen directly but can be known by

observing changes in attitudes or behaviour. Therefore, Motivation is crucial for life

because motivation, like an energy source that can inspire achieving someone’s

success in the world.Motivation is very needed in the teaching-learning process.

Hamalik (2011) stated that motivation could determine the extent of success or failure

of students’ learning activities (Kompri, 2015, p. 231). Students without motivation

to learn will be difficult because they will not do learning activities.

From the explanation above,it can be concluded,motivation is one of the most

important parts of a student's learning vocabulary process. In the field of learning,

motivation is critical to success. In this case, it is difficult to succeed without

motivation. So here teachers are challenged to be as creative as possible in designing

interesting and fun learning media, so that students have motivation to learn

vocabulary.

2.5 Media-Media Using In Vocabulary

In teaching English language, the media is not a new thing for the

teachers.Most of the teachers use media to give the particular information about
material or topic in the learning that the students learn.Media itself according to

Arsyad (2011:4) is a tool that to convey or deliver the message of learning.

Usually, in the process of teaching English language the teachers have difficulty

in delivering the message of learning to the students. Thus, with using media it can

help the teacher’s need in teaching English language especially in teaching

English vocabulary.Media in the process of teaching vocabulary, especially in

English language, is important to make the process of teaching vocabulary

more fun and the students feel interested in the class. Thus, the teachers must

know the types of media and use the media that the teachers’ need to help them in

teaching vocabulary. According to Adela (2016: 51) “There are three types of media

that can be used in the teaching-learning process. They are: a) audio (tape, radio,

compact disc and so on); b) visual (pictures, poster OHP, and so on); and c) audio

visual (television, video VCD, computer, and so on)”.

In line with technological developments, learning media also progress through

the use of technology itself. Based on these technologies Arsyad (2011),classified the

media into three groups, they are:

1. Media results of printing technology.

a. Textbooks and Workbooks: Printed textbooks and workbooks provide

structured lessons, exercises, and vocabulary lists, making learning

accessible to a wide range of learners.

 b. Flashcards and Vocabulary Cards: These physical tools aid in

memorization and self-study, allowing learners to review vocabulary at

their own pace.

c. Dictionaries and Reference Books: Printed dictionaries offer

comprehensive definitions, usage examples, and etymological

information, enabling learners to delve deeper into word meanings.

2. media results of audio-visual technology.

a. Visual Appeal: Visually stimulating content, such as videos, animations,

and interactive presentations, captures learners' attention and sparks

curiosity.

b. Real-world Context: Audio-visual materials often present vocabulary in

authentic contexts, making learning more relevant and meaningful.

c. Interactive Learning: Games, quizzes, and simulations create a fun and

interactive learning environment, motivating learners to practice and

apply their vocabulary knowledge.

3. Media based on computer technology.

a. Word games: Games like Scrabble, Boggle, and Wordfeud can help

students practice spelling and word formation.

b. Crossword puzzles: These can be used to reinforce vocabulary and

spelling.

c. Hangman: A classic game that can be adapted to focus on vocabulary

learning.
 d. Duolingo: This popular app offers a variety of language courses,

including vocabulary exercises and interactive lessons.

e. Babbel: Another effective language learning app that uses a variety of

techniques to teach vocabulary, including context-based learning and

spaced repetition.

f. Wordwall is a versatile online platform that allows you to create

interactive games and activities for learning and teaching. It's a great tool

for educators and students alike, offering a fun and engaging way to

reinforce learning concepts.

From the explanation above, it can be concluded that in teaching vocabulary,

we can use various kinds of interesting and fun media, an example of one media is

wordwall.

2.6 Wordwall Media

According to Umar et al. (2023), a word wall is a vocabulary that is

systematically organized and usually displayed in a large size in a classroom. The

more developed the era, the more developing the learning strategies used, as well as

the word wall. Currently, word wall can beaccessed online using a cellphone or

laptop, making it easier for users to access, because it can be used by anyone,

anytime, and anywhere. So when teachers want to use word walls nowadays, they

don't always have to use the old way by making it by writing it on paper.In this

research, the word wall used is a crossword, where studentswork on crossword

puzzles. In this game, there are clues thathelp students find the answer. The

crossword game was given by the teacher in the form of paper that has been printed

and then displayed in front of the class for students to work on.

In addition, the word wall web application can be used as a tool for learning

evaluation, or for making daily assignments. In this word wall website, there are

several kinds of games, namely: quizzes, match up, pairing, anagrams, word search,

crosswords, etc. The games that have been or will be used can be played online. The

teacher can also use one of the games that will be used then download it and print it

out (Wayan Mertha & Mahfud, 2022). The Word Wall web application not only

serves as a learning evaluation tool, but also as a means for daily assignment creation

and teachers can utilize it online or by downloading and printing selected games. This

provides flexibility and variety in the English vocabulary learning process.

Based on the explanation above, it can be concluded that wordwall

isWordwall is an interactive learning media that has a variety of games using

technology such as smartphones or laptops that serve as aids in making it easier for

students to be active in the classroom.

2.7 Wordwall Media In Teaching Vocabulary

 According to Jackson & Narvaez (2013), in teaching vocabulary by using

word wall media, there are steps of word wall which are mentioned below:

1.Plan vocabulary

The first thing to do in making word wall media is to plan vocabulary. This

vocabulary planning aims to adjust to thevocabulary that is often used in everyday

life and the vocabulary targeted by the teacher. So that the vocabulary is made to

what is expected by the teacher. The steps in planning vocabulary in word wall

are:

a) The teacher finds out about familiar vocabulary (prior knowledge) and new

vocabulary that students know.

b) Teachers and students should work together to determine which words

should be posted on the wall (Ainy, 2015).

c) Teachers can choose words that are easy to remember by using favorite

words on certain themes (Amelia, 2022).

d) The teacher determines vocabulary targets that are by standards. The

choice of vocabulary should be flexible and allow for additional words that

arise during instruction.

e) The teacher identifies the vocabulary that has been determined.

f) After target vocabulary and phrases are identified and matched with

pictures or realia, the teacher sketches a concept map to organize content

and relate vocabulary.

2.Create word wall

 After the teacher determines the vocabulary, the next thing to do is to make

word wall media. In making it, what the teacher needs to pay attention to is that word

wall is visible from all directions by students in the class. The steps in making word

wall media are:

a) After the teacher identifies vocabulary and makes sketches, the teacher

prepares student worksheets that correspond to the sketches that have been

made.

b) Teachers are assisted by students in creating these words with various

variations that will be more interesting for students (Farhan, 2018).

c) Teachers can create word wall before learning begins. Word wall is written

in large black letters and uses different background

3.Place word wall

After making word wall, the next step is to place word wall on a strategic wall

that is easily visible to students from all directions. The steps taken by the teacher are:

a) After the teacher selects the vocabulary, the teacher arranges how to connect

word wall sketches and student worksheets, then the teacher places word wall

frames in the classroom.

b) The teacher can use a large sheet of paper or a special whiteboard as a base

(Silalahi & Napitu, 2021).

c) The teacher arranges the words alphabetically to make it easier for students to

memorize them (Tamba et al. 2022).

 d) Word wall is placed in a cupboard or classroom door, on a classroom wall, in

a window, or hung from the ceiling with a wire.

e) The teacher should place the words where each student can see them, the

words are written in large black letters using a varietyings of backgrounds and

colors to further differentiate the vocabulary.

f) Teachers can group words into several categories (Farhan, 2018).

g) Students are allowed to participate in the construction process.

h) The teacher can pair selected words with pictures or real objects.

4.Use word wall in classroom

After word wall is installed, the teacher then applies word wall to students in

the class. There are various steps taken by the teacher in the classroom in

implementing word wall media, namely:

a) Once word wall is installed, the teacher uses word wall with students.

Teachers plan and structure instruction around word wall.

b) The teacher asks students to pay attention to word wall media on the class

wall. Then the teacher asks students to listen and divides students into groups

(Amelia, 2022).

c) The teacher introduces vocabulary during teaching.

d) The teacher provides enough practice so that the words can be read and

spelled automatically and ensures that the words from the wall are always

spelled correctly. Teachers and students can practice word wall every day
 using a variety of activities such as matching words, associating words, and

eliminating letters (Ainy, 2015).

e) Teachers can use word wall in various activities such as listening, speaking,

reading or writing (Farhan, 2018).

To support class management, students are allowed to add items as directed

by their teacher during discussions and explanations. Because students take

part in building word wall, they are very proud and enthusiastic about

conveying it to other students.

5.Complete the student note sheet and shared word wall.The final step taken by the

teacher is to repeat the described above at each meeting until they meet the teacher's

target.

Based on the explanation above, it can be concluded that wordwall media is a

fun medium for learning vocabulary. By utilizing wordwalls, teachers can create a

richer, more interactive and effective learning environment and students have

motivation and enthusiasm in learning vocabulary.

2.8 The Relationship Between The Use Of Wordwall Media And Student

Motivation In Learning Vocabulary

The use of media is part of classroom management skills, which is a core

competency for teachers. According to Susanto (Nisa. & Susanto., 2022), as an

application of teaching skills, it basically greatly influences the motivation, process,

and learning outcomes that are formed in students' thinking abilities. According to

Rachmadtullah, meaningful learning is the learning process that is expected for

students, where students can be directly involved in learning and directly discover

that knowledge (Pradani, 2022). The success of the learning process can be seen from

the students' learning motivation during the learning process (Gandasari

&Pramudiani, 2021). Sulandjari (Nurafni & Ninawati, 2021) stated that intrinsic

motivation greatly influences the success of learning activities.

Wordwall is one of the interactive tools that is easy to use and can help

students increase their interest and motivation. Besides being easy and cheap to use,

this media offers many alternatives for presenting materials and questions. Diverse

and interesting media will make students more active and motivated to follow the

learning process (Nissa. & Renoningtyas., 2022). The same thing is said by

(Arimbawa, 2021) that Wordwall media is one type of learning media that can

improve students' ability in mastering the material.Games are played for

entertainment and enjoyment, but they can also serve as a means of training,

education, and simulation. Games can sharpen intelligence and brain skills in

overcoming artificial conflicts or problems that exist in the game. Therefore, it is

necessary to create educational games that guide students in learning activities.

Based on the explanation that has been explained, it can be concluded that the

choice of appropriate learning media makes students enthusiastic in following the

learning process and has a positive impact on student motivation so that they can

achieve satisfactory learning outcomes, one of which is by using Wordwall media.
