University Students’ Attitudes towards the Application of Quizizz in Learning English as a Foreign Language

Abstract

Many educational technology-based tools have been employed in language classrooms worldwide. The application of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) and mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) platforms has been implemented in most higher education institutions. Quizizz has emerged and is applied by many language instructors. This study aims to investigate university students’ attitudes towards the use of Quizizz in their English language learning. The employment of both quantitative and qualitative methods was to identify the extent university students expressed their attitudes and satisfaction as well as the correlation between them. This study was carried out under the participation of 116 university students through a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. The results showed that students had positive attitudes towards the application of Quizizz in learning English (M=3.989, SD=.592). The level of satisfaction perceived by students was also high (M=4.078, SD=.760). There was a strong correlation between students’ attitudes and satisfaction, in which students’ behavior was more considerable than affective and cognitive components. Although students preferred Quizizz because it could enhance students’ motivation and engagement, and memory, some issues were raised for Quizizz developers and teachers to upgrade and correct mistakes and errors in Quizizz games. In general, it is recommended that Quizizz be preferable as a useful tool for English language learning and teaching.
