The Implementation of Wordwall Application Media to Increase Students’ Motivation in Writing Descriptive Text at 8TH Grade MTsS Geudubang Aceh

This research aimed to improve students' motivation and skills in writing descriptive texts by utilizing Wordwall media in Class VIII.1 at MTsS Geudubang Aceh. The study employed a classroom action research (CAR) approach, conducted in two cycles, with each cycle consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection phases. In Cycle I, students were introduced to Wordwall media as an interactive tool for learning descriptive text. Despite initial challenges, including limited engagement and comprehension, the results showed moderate improvement. To address these issues, Cycle II focused on refining the learning process by providing clearer instructions, encouraging group collaboration, and incorporating engaging activities such as games and interactive tasks. The results from Cycle II demonstrated a significant increase in student motivation and writing ability. The average score improved from the baseline to 74.86, exceeding the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM) of 71, with 79.31% of students achieving the passing score. Observations revealed higher levels of participation, enthusiasm, and understanding of descriptive text features and structures. The findings indicate that Wordwall media effectively enhanced students' motivation and writing skills in descriptive text, making it a valuable tool for interactive and engaging language learning. The study concludes that integrating digital media into teaching practices can positively impact student performance and learning outcomes.
