Abstract

This research examined the effectiveness of Pear Deck and Pocable Game in improving students' vocabulary knowledge at SMPN 10 Tarakan. This research used a quasi-experimental method with a quantitative approach and collected test score data from two classes, namely classes VII-I (control) and VII-II (experimental), each consisting of 29 students. Results showed that Pear Deck and Pocable Game significantly improved vocabulary knowledge compared to PowerPoint. The experimental class experienced a more significant increase in mean score, from 69.03 to 86.2 before treatment to 81.62 afterwards. In the control class, the average score increased from 67.31 to 78.12. These findings demonstrate the significant potential of Pear Deck and Pocable Game as learning media that can encourage students to participate interactively during learning, which improves their understanding of pronunciation, meaning, and vocabulary usage. Networked technology and continuous teacher development are needed to create fun and memorable English language learning.
