Abstract

The use of technology such as websites on gadgets is suitable to improve the efficiency of the MUET learning process, especially for students who cannot use bombastic words correctly in their writing. The correct use of bombastic words on our website is one of the technologies used to teach in virtual and physical classrooms. This website is designed to help students to write confidently, correctly, and be able to compose bombastic essays in English. In addition, the website provides tips and explanations to help students to use bombastic words appropriately even if they are unfamiliar with them. This innovation uses mixed methods consisting of two set of quizzes using Quizizz and fun games. It is conducted among pre-university students. Before the students answer the questions, we observed their ability through the questions that were given after they answered, we gave a website link to reveal the bombastic words, we also collected their scores so that we could detect the frequently used words. After they have exposed to bombastic words, students were asked to answer the next quiz to identify the weaknesses in the use of interesting and grammatical words. In addition, some fun videos were uploaded. The videos were enhanced with cartoons, graphics and the students' own background voice explaining on how to use this website. We also provided some exercises to help them to learn English better. A quiz was given to the same students after they have explored our website, the following actions were aimed at collecting their scores so that their improvement in using bombastic words could be accurately analysed. It is safe to say that our website can help students to use bombastic words correctly in their essays. Opinions from the public are highly anticipated as these innovations are created over time. Of course everything has its flaws in whatever aspect it likes. Hopefully people's opinions about the innovation created can be used by us to make improvements to our website.
