Adi Isma, Abdullah Abdullah, Andi Farid Baharuddin

Abstract


Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, teaching and learning English has been shifted from face-to-face to online learning. One of the online learning applications used is Quizizz, which is considered an effective platform to learn English. This study aims to identify students' perceptions of the effectiveness of using the Quizizz application in learning English. This study used a descriptive quantitative and qualitative approach. The respondents were second-semester students who took English courses at the Nutrition Study Program, Faculty of Health Sciences, Universitas Sulawesi Barat, which consisted of two classes totaling 52 students. Quantitative data collection was carried out by distributing research questionnaires consisting of 14 questions, which were analysed using a Likert scale. Meanwhile, qualitative data was obtained by filling out an open-ended question questionnaire and asking students to write down their responses regarding the use of the Quizizz application. This study found that students have positive views on the use of the Quizizz application in learning English, as demonstrated by the following five indicators: (1) ease of use, (2) material mastery, (3) learning satisfaction, (4) motivation, and (5) engagement. It can be concluded that using the Quizizz app can make students more excited and interested in learning English because of the game-based learning features it has.
