Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the influences of Quizizz on EFL students’ vocabulary achievement and examine learners’ perceptions of using this digital app at University of Economics, and Technology for Industries (UNETI) during Covid-19 pandemic. This experimental research was conducted in eight-week intervention of the academic year 2020-2021. Vocabulary test based on the curriculum and interview were employed as data collection instruments to determine their vocabulary achievement as well as perspectives towards the implementation of the online quiz. The statistical findings, which were respectively demonstrated in mean scores, standard deviation and t-test analysis, identified a significant difference between control and experimental class. As indicated, experimental participants have enhanced their vocabulary. Besides, qualitative data contributed deeper insight on students’ attitudes towards utilizing Quizizz to teach vocabulary. Several pedagogical implications were recommended for future Quizizz implementation at the institution.
