The study was done in an intact class of twenty five students. The quizzes are in the form of multiple choices, short answers, crosswords, match questions, etc. Furthermore, the students could do independently so they will not be pressured to answer some questions. The quiz is designed like a game which gives reward to the user as a result and will lead students indirectly to drill themselves, to get some new words and mastery in vocabulary. As a result, the Hot Potatoes application can be used as one alternative to enhance students’ vocabulary practice in an enjoyable and effective way.  \nKeywords: Hot Potatoes: an Interactive Application, an Effective Vocabulary Practice  \nINTRODUCTION  \nIn learning English, vocabulary is one of the language components that should be acquired by students. Because if students have many vocabulary items, they will have a better opportunity to master the language. In the digital era, ICT (Information and Communication Technology) becomes an essential tool for more and more people in educational world. Many Applications based on ICT can be found and used as learning medium. Therefore, ICT is required by English lecturer in their teaching and learning process. In fact teaching English vocabulary to students is not easy. Many students felt bored to memorize new words by themselves and drill about vocabulary. They just wait their lecturers to explain some new words to them even some students felt difficult and bored to practice. In light of the issue, the lecturers will not worry to teach and give some exercises about vocabulary for students if they use application webpage. The researcher presents a research aim to invent an application as a technique for enhancing an effective vocabulary practice for students. It deals with the named “Hot Potatoes” (JCloze) . This application is suitable for creating cloze and fill in the blank exercises. Unlimited correct answers can be specified for each gap, and the student can ask for a hint and see a letter of the correct answer. A specific clue can also be included for each gap. Automatic scoring is also included. The program allows gapping of selected word or the automatically gapping of every the word in a text.  \n(Winke, 2001), Hot Potatoes is a suite of quiz/drill-authoring software created at the University of Victoria, Canada. Hot Potatoes activities and the amount of interaction can be mentioned that the‘interaction’ is limited to interaction between the user and the pre-scripted feedback prepared by the creator of the activity. According to Catartica (2008), Hot Potatoes is an application to create interactive quizzes whic","cbCaiaERAmYxZAM7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaERAmYxZAM7","pdf",160435,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Vocabulary learning in the digital era\n## Hot Potatoes features and exercise types\n# Proceedings overview\n## Web access and instructional support","[{\"question\":\"What is the main goal of using Hot Potatoes in the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study aims to investigate Hot Potatoes as a technique for enhancing effective English vocabulary practice for students.\"},{\"question\":\"What research design was used to evaluate the application?\",\"answer\":\"The research used a quasi-experimental one group pretest-posttest design with an intact class of 25 first-grade students at STKIP PGRI Blitar.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of exercises and scoring features does Hot Potatoes support?\",\"answer\":\"Hot Potatoes supports multiple-choice quizzes, short-answer tasks, gap-fill/cloze exercises, crosswords, and jumbled sentence/word activities, with unlimited correct answers for gaps, hints/clues, and automatic scoring.\"}]","Proceedings - HOT POTATOES: AN INTERACTIVE APPLICATION TO ENHANCE AN EFFECTIVE VOCABULARY PRACTICE | PDF",1790639847,13]
