Enhancing vocabulary learning through Quizizz: A case study of rural high school students in Vietnam
Main Article Content
Abstract
Up to now, the effectiveness of using technology tools like Quizizz in language teaching and learning has been supported in various studies. This research focuses on (1) the effectiveness of Quizizz in vocabulary learning among the students at a high school, (2) the students’ perceptions towards their teacher’s application of Quizizz in Foreign Language teaching and learning. This research is a case study applied to 94 students of grade 10th at a high school in An Giang province, in Mekong Delta, south of Vietnam. Data was collected through pre-tests, post-tests and questionnaires (including two open-ended questions) and analyzed quantitatively with SPSS 26. Results confirmed Quizizz’s effectiveness in vocabulary learning and revealed students’ positive perceptions toward its classroom use. This study contributes new evidence by focusing on rural high school students, a group that has been under researched.
