The Use of Kahoot to Teach Captions for XII Grade Students in High School: Best Practice

Abstract

Learning motivation is needed by students to improve their learning performance in class. In order to increase student motivation, teachers use a variety of teaching methods with the aim of increasing student motivation. In my PPL program as a teacher at a public high school, I used the online media Kahoot game with the aim of increasing student motivation in English. The steps for teaching captions using the Kahoot game media are that students are asked to open the Kahoot.it website. Then enter the game pin that has been given. After being in the game room students are asked to wait for the teacher to start. After the teacher has started the game, students can answer the questions in the game with a predetermined time. Because I taught two classes and each class has different student criteria, I also use a different learning style for the two classes. And the result is that students are very enthusiastic about learning English because of the challenges in the Kahoot game.
