0 era.
Technology has many advantages, but no matter how sophisticated it is, it does not rule out the possibility of disadvantages (Suminar, 2.
Although there are shortcomings, it is not a barrier for teachers to implement technology-based learning.
Technology teaches a teacher to be wise in choosing, sorting, and utilizing the right technology based on the material taught (Marlita dkk.
, 2.
The learning media in this study is focused on Wordwall web media.
Wordwall is a collection of systematically organized vocabulary that is displayed with games.

According to Maryanti et al.
, .
Wordwall, learning media research helps with meaning problems, harmoniously integrates education, and increases interest and motivation in learning.
Therefore, this study analyzes how word walls can be used to increase student learning interest.
Interest is one of the psychological aspects of human beings that can encourage humans to do something and can help us achieve our goals.
Interest in learning is related to things that can attract curiosity, attention, and involvement in the learning process.
object that tends to be interesting and fun will be more noticed.
However, if the object does not cause a sense of pleasure or interest, it will cause a lack of efficiency in the learning process.
According to Yunitasari & Hanifah, .
Learning Interest, is a driving factor for learning students based on their interest and willingness to learn.
The impact that the reduction of mnat can cause is that the learning process will not run optimally and even the learning goals themselves will not be achieved.
Teachers are expected to continue to learn new things and look for new opportunities to fulfill their duties and responsibilities as educators.
METHOD
