Abstract

This study investigates the effect of the Cake Application on eighth-grade students’ mastery of action verbs in recount texts at SMP Negeri 12 Pematangsiantar. Motivated by students’ low vocabulary performance, especially in understanding the linguistic features of recount texts as required by the Merdeka Curriculum (Permendikbud No. 5 of 2022), this research employs a quasi-experimental design. Two classes were assigned as control and experimental groups. The experimental class received instruction through the Cake Application, while the control class used conventional media. Pre-test and post-test scores show a significant improvement in the experimental class (from 55.9 to 77.74). Independent t-test results (t = 3.854, p < 0.001) confirm the effectiveness of the treatment. These findings suggest that Cake Application significantly enhances students’ vocabulary mastery, particularly in action verbs relevant to recount texts.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengaruh Aplikasi Cake terhadap penguasaan kata kerja tindakan pada teks narasi oleh siswa kelas VIII di SMP Negeri 12 Pematangsiantar. Terinspirasi oleh kinerja kosakata siswa yang rendah, terutama dalam memahami fitur linguistik teks naratif sesuai dengan Kurikulum Merdeka (Permendikbud No. 5 Tahun 2022), penelitian ini menggunakan desain quasi-eksperimental. Dua kelas ditugaskan sebagai kelompok kontrol dan eksperimen. Kelas eksperimen menerima pengajaran melalui Aplikasi Cake, sementara kelas kontrol menggunakan media konvensional. Hasil pre-test dan post-test menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan pada kelompok eksperimen (dari 55,9 menjadi 77,74). Hasil uji t independen (t = 3,854, p < 0,001) mengonfirmasi efektivitas perlakuan. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa Aplikasi Cake secara signifikan meningkatkan penguasaan kosakata siswa, terutama pada kata kerja aksi yang relevan dengan teks naratif.
