Google Meet enhances the effectiveness of teaching and learning activities. The lecturer may present the content by using the elements that assist and support their delivery. Indeed, there is no correlation between pupils' comprehension and the Google Meet Application. However, the Google Meet Application has a number of tools that assist the professor in delivering the course.

Additionally, the lecturer may use spreadsheets/slides, etc.
Students get a deeper understanding of the subject.
S: it’s depend on how the lecturer deliver their material so far i can understand the lecturer explanation most of them usually use slides to support their
material. My skill that develop during using google meet is listening skill because it’s very needed in every lesson, especially when the network is poor
(itu tergantung dari bagaimana dosen membawakan maerinya., sejauh ini saya bisa mengerti penjelasan dosen kebanyakam dari mereka selalu menggunakan slide untuk mensupport pembelajaran. Skill yang saya kembangkan selama belajar menggunkan google meet adalh listening skill saya karena itu sangat dibutuhkan dalam setiap pembelajaran terutama jika jaringannya jelek.)

S: in my opinion it is very affordable because every students got free quota from campus.
(menurut saya itu sangat terjangkau karena setiap mahasiswa mendapatkan kuota gratis dari kampus.)
27 B. DISCUSSION
The interview results indicated that students had a favorable attitude about utilizing Google Meet in order to study English as a foreign language at Muhammadiyah University of Makassar in terms of its practicability, efficacy, and cost.
Google Meet is a widely used medium for teaching and learning in epidemic situations. Google Meet enables users to conduct mobile meetings, virtual teaching and learning activities, and training courses, as well as remote interviews. Google Meet has tools for making high-quality video calls with groups of up to 250 people (Lobe et al., 2020).
The theory above is consistent with the findings of the research, which indicate that all students agree that Google Meet is extremely beneficial for students in the teaching and learning process during pandemic situations. This is because Google Meet is simple to use, students can join meetings without downloading the application. Students joined the meeting using just their Gmail accounts, which increased the flexibility of teaching and learning by allowing them to take place anywhere and at any time.
Additionally, according to Lobe et al. (2020), the benefits of the Google Meet application include the ability to communicate information through text, voice, video, and animation. Google Meet enhances the effectiveness of teaching and learning activities. Google Meet has many elements that assist students in comprehending the lecturer's content. The instructor may make use of spreadsheet features to assist pupils in comprehending the subject.
28
Some students stated that they have been able to comprehend the material thus far because almost all teachers used slides to support their material and now there is a new feature called "raise hand" to facilitate teaching and learning. Students can use this feature to respond to a question or make a statement without interfering with the learning process.
The application's weakness or drawback is that it needs a fast and steady internet connection. If the network quality is bad, the resolution and video speed are reduced, and there are additional requirements for constant availability of internet quotas, stable network conditions, and the availability of equipment to enable online learning, such as PCs or laptops. 2020 (Sawitri). However, all students expressed satisfaction with Google Meet and had no reservations regarding its usage.
Additionally, Google Meet now has a new feature called Data Usage Limit. According to Kompas.com (2021), Google Meet now has a new function that enables users to conserve internet bandwidth while using Google Meet on their mobile devices. The interview revealed that utilizing Google Meet is reasonable for all students, since it is less expensive than using another platform. This hypothesis demonstrated that the research's outcome was acceptable.
Based on the findings from the interviews conducted above, it can be inferred that students have a favorable attitude about utilizing Google Meet in educational activities. According to the benefits and advantages students get, such as the practicality, effectiveness, and affordability of Google Meet, it
29
demonstrates that it can support the learning activity of students even when there is a distance between instructor and students. The Google meetup is very useful in terms of continuing to perform educational activities throughout the epidemic pandemic. covid-19.
