Introduction
According to Vietnam Academy of Social and Sciences, human beings these days have been
entering the knowledge economy and global association. Education plays an imperative role in the
development of a country. Most of the countries all over the world, including Vietnam, consider the
investment in education is future’s contribution. Foreign languages, especially English are
supposed to be a vital key for areal and worldwide diplomatic relations. English becomes an official
subject in the national education systems. So as to widen English communication environment for
learners to develop their skills, a wide range of English centers are founded to adapt these
requirements. However, because of many subjective reasons such as time management and
financial issues, not every learner can afford a course of an English center. It is the fact that to
become proficient at a language, we need to master not only the four skills but also the language
knowledge. It takes us a lot of time and effort to be skilled at those. Recognizing reality, self-study
is assumed to be the only solution. Nevertheless, it is impossible that this way can work without
any assistance. Along with the outstanding achievements of information technology, a large
number of applications are invented to support the self-study process such as Camli, Elsa speak,
Hello Talk, Speakly,…etc. Outstanding among them, Duolingo developed by Luis von Ahn, Severin
Hacker is one of the most-used applications.
Duolingo is an American language-learning website and mobile app, as well as digital language
proficiency assessment exam. The company uses the premium model; the app and the website are
assessable without charge, Duolingo also offers a premium service for a fee. Until now, there has
been over 30 languages that are offered on Duolingo app. It is not difficult to use this app.
Duolingo mimics the structure of video games in several ways to engage its users. The topics are
graded from easy to difficult that help users acquire knowledge in each certain topic. After that,
users will use the learned knowledge to finish mini games. Speaking exercises use AI (Artificial
Intelligent) voice recognition to grade how close your pronunciation is to the goal, so you get real-
time feedback about how you’re doing.
In such of context, a large number of previous studies related to using Duolingo in learning English
has been conducted at different levels. Each study, however aimed to highlight the discrete skill or
aspect of language knowledge. For example, abundant research points out the effect of using
Duolingo application in learning vocabulary (Ambara, 2020), whereas there were also a wide range
of research working on the other language skills. Remarkably, the spot light went to Siti (2019)
research on the improvement of listening and speaking. This study was conducted to generalize
and figure out obviously the effectiveness of using Duolingo to aid language learning process.
