ABSTRACT The integration of gamification-based technology in education has been increasingly adopted and is believed to enhance students’ motivation and academic performance. This study aims to examine the relationship between the use of Duolingo and students’ motivation and learning outcomes in Arabic subjects. A quantitative approach with a correlational method was employed. The population consisted of students from Madrasah Aliyah Perguruan Muallimat Cukir, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a validated and reliable questionnaire, and analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS) with SmartPLS 4 software. The findings reveal that Duolingo significantly affects learning motivation (coefficient 0.858; p < 0.05) and learning outcomes (coefficient 0.759; p < 0.05). These results indicate that gamification-based applications can enhance student participation, engagement, and academic achievement in Arabic language learning.
