Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Wordwall media in enhancing students’ mastery of Arabic vocabulary (mufrodat). The research employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest model. The sample consisted of 32 eighth-grade students from class VIII-A in the academic year 2024/2025. The instrument used was a vocabulary test administered before and after the learning process using Wordwall media. The results of the study indicate a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores. The average pretest score obtained before the use of Wordwall was 36.5, while the average posttest score after the intervention increased to 83.59. Based on the results of the paired sample t-test, the significance value (p-value) was 0.000. Since the p-value is less than 0.05, H₀ is rejected and Ha is accepted, indicating a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores after the use of Wordwall media. Moreover, the average N-Gain score reached 72.98%, which falls into the high improvement category. These findings suggest that the Wordwall platform can be used as an effective and engaging learning medium to improve students’ Arabic vocabulary acquisition.
