Abstract

This study examined the influence of Kahoot application towards students’ reading comprehension at the eleventh grade of SMAN 1 Cikande. A quasi-experimental design was used with two groups: a control group and an experimental group. Both groups were given a pre-test and a post-test, but only the experimental group received instruction using Kahoot. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, Levene’s homogeneity test, and an independent sample t-test. The findings showed that the average post-test score of the experimental group improved significantly compared to the control group. The independent sample t-test resulted in a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.026, which is below 0.05. This means there was a significant difference in the reading comprehension outcomes between the two groups. These findings suggest that using Kahoot in English reading comprehension classes can increase student engagement and lead to better learning results
