APPLYING QUIZIZZ TOOL TO IMPROVE ENGLISH VOCABULARY FOR 3rd GRADE STUDENTS AT QUANG MINH A PRIMARY SCHOOL, ME LINH DISTRICT, HANOI CITY

Abstract

Although vocabulary knowledge is an important tool for language learners, the performance of primary students in this aspect of learning is still problematic. The researcher found through practice that the main reason for this problem was the lack of student motivation for English vocabulary. Thus, it is highly necessary to conduct action research to improve the vocabulary skills of primary students by using the Quizizz tool. In the study, pre- and post-tests were used to review students' vocabulary perceptions, and surveys using questionnaires were conducted to explore the effects of Quizizz on English vocabulary learning. On the basis of these results, it was concluded that Quizizz had promoted the activity of learning English vocabulary, maintained the motivation for learning and increased learning success. However, Quizizz could hinder the student intrinsic motivation of learning vocabulary expose while emphasizing the competitive atmosphere for students to be involved in the game-like vocabulary learning activities. These contradictory results led to discussions on how to maximize the positive effects of Quizizz's use and minimize its potential negative effects. Several recommendations have been made, such as conducting correlation research to determine the relationship between Quizizz's use and students' English success, or researching the effects of Quizizz implementation on students' English learning vocabulary success through action research. It is hoped that this paper will be seen as a practical contribution to more effective teaching and learning practices in Quang Minh A primary school and to the ongoing reconstruction of teaching and learning vocabulary.
