UTILIZING LIVEWORKSHEET.COM TO MOTIVATE STUDENTS IN DEVELOPING THEIR ENGLISH READING SKILLS FOR EXPOSITION TEXT

This study investigates the utilization of Liveworksheet.com by English teachers at SMA Muhammadiyah 10 GKB Gresik in teaching exposition texts and its impact on students' motivation in reading comprehension. Employing a qualitative case study design, the research involved two English teachers and 71 eleventh-grade students, with data collected through interviews and classroom observations. The findings reveal that Liveworksheet.com offers various interactive features such as drag-and-drop exercises, immediate feedback, and multimedia integration, which support engaging and student-centered learning. Teachers utilized both ready-made and self-created worksheets to align with instructional goals, while students demonstrated increased intrinsic and extrinsic motivation during the learning process. This motivation was analyzed using Uno’s (2017) indicators of learning motivation, including passion and a desire to succeed, encouragement and a need for learning, hopes or aspirations for the future, appreciation in learning, interesting activities in learning, and a conducive learning environment. Despite limitations such as internet dependency and advertisement interference, the platform significantly contributed to enhancing students' interest and participation in reading exposition texts. The study suggests that integrating digital tools like Liveworksheet.com can foster meaningful learning experiences and positively influence students’ motivation and academic performance.
