Game-based Learning: Utilising Quizizz (Wayground) in Face-to-Face Class Environment

The pandemic has significantly changed the educational landscape, including English language education. Technology has played a central role in shifting from traditional to modern classrooms, where game-based learning has become increasingly important for digital natives. However, research on game-based learning in higher education remains limited. This study therefore investigates students’ perceptions of using Quizizz (Wayground) in English classrooms and its effectiveness as a teaching and learning tool. A cross-sectional questionnaire, adapted from previous studies, was used to collect quantitative data from students. The findings reveal that students generally responded favorably to the application, describing it as effective, engaging, and supportive of their language learning. Future studies may consider exploring qualitative perspectives from both students and educators, extending research to other faculties and student populations, and conducting longitudinal or discipline-specific studies to gain deeper insights into the use of Quizizz in English language classrooms.
