his study aims to describe the implementation of the CAKE application in English reading learning and to determine students' responses to its use among seventh-grade students at SMPN 14 Tarakan. This study was motivated by the low English reading skills of students due to limited vocabulary, difficulty in understanding sentence structure, and low student interest in English reading texts. To overcome these problems, this study utilizes the CAKE application as a Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) based learning medium. This study uses a qualitative descriptive design supported by simple quantitative data. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires, then analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the implementation of the CAKE application can be carried out well through systematic learning stages and the application of learning strategies such as scaffolding, collaborative learning, and continuous feedback. Students' responses to the use of the CAKE application show a positive trend, especially in increased interest in learning, vocabulary comprehension, and reading comprehension. However, this study also identified several obstacles, including time constraints, differences in students' technological abilities, and technical barriers such in limited devices and internet connectivity. Overall, the CAKE application has the potential to be a supporting medium for English reading learning for seventh-grade students.

Vocabulary mastery is a major challenge students face in learning English, particularly at the junior high level, due to limited language exposure and ineffective learning strategies. This study investigates the effect of using the Cake application on the vocabulary knowledge of seventh-grade students at SMPN 7 Tarakan. A pre-experimental design was employed involving one class consisting of 32 students. The research instrument was a written vocabulary test administered before and after the treatment. The treatment was conducted over six sessions using the Cake application as the learning medium. The results indicate that the students' mean score increased from 58.59 in the pre-test to 78.00 in the post-test. This improvement was influenced by Cake's features, including contextual short videos, native speaker pronunciation, interactive quizzes, and daily reviews that helped strengthen vocabulary comprehension and retention. Based on the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, the significance value was below 0.05, thereby confirming the acceptance of Ha and the rejection of Ho. These findings suggest that the Cake application effectively improves students' vocabulary knowledge and can be an alternative medium for teaching English vocabulary in schools.
