Abstract

The passive voice application is an Android-based learning application that is devoted to interactive, personal, and flexible passive voice grammar material. This application provides passive voice learning materials quickly and straightforwardly, including videos and quizzes along with explanations and answers. Thus, this study aims to determine teacher procedures for teaching passive voice material using passive voice applications and investigate students' perceptions of passive voice applications used by teachers in teaching passive voice material. An English teacher at MAN 1 Sidoarjo and 38 students of class IX MIPA 4 became the subjects of this study. The data for this study was gathered using qualitative and quantitative research that focuses on descriptive design. The data was collected through interviews and questionnaires. The results of this study indicate that the teacher's procedure in teaching passive voice material using passive voice applications is that the teacher asks students to study the material first at home before learning begins; activities are classified into initial activities or opening classes; main activities or discussions and assignments; and final activities are evaluation and closing. In addition, this study received positive responses from students. Students benefit from using passive voice applications feel easier in learning, feel fun, feel more effective, have increased understanding, get motivated, get facilities for doing assignments at home, have increased independence in learning, are flexible, and save time in the learning process. Apart from the advantages, students have various challenges, such as insufficient mobile phone facilities, issues with signal quality, difficulties in comprehending passive voice applications due to a lack of understanding, and unnecessary consumption of internet data. This study concluded that the use of passive voice applications provides benefits for students while at the same time providing challenges for them.
