“…Kahoot provides a great number of free templates to create a quiz all about yourself for the first day of class in a very low-pressure, engaging way. Blind Kahoot is a very reasonable way to present and teach new concepts throughout a game and achieve long lasting effects [25]. It stimulates curiosity and deductive thinking, thus making students switch from passive perception of the material to active use of new vocabulary and grammar constructions in the context of specific communicative situations.…”

In the context of globalization, many Russian universities are interested in attracting foreign students to receive higher education, however, for successful studying, foreign students need to integrate into education process, as well as into the socio-cultural life of the country. The contradictions that arise between the requirements of modern society for the effective integration of foreign students into the educational process and the insufficient development of the methodology for teaching a foreign language to foreign students lead to the need to develop a new learning technology. The purpose of the research is to analyze the use of edutainment technology means in teaching English for groups of foreign students of South Ural State University. The authors analyzed the concept of "edutainment technology"; revealed the awareness of foreign students about the types of means of edutainment technology in the education process of the university; analyzed the effectiveness of the use of edutainment technology in foreign language teaching. The educators' attitude to the use of edutainment technology as a means of language training was revealed. The edutainment technology was introduced into the process of teaching English to foreign students, based on the analysis of educators' answers. To perform the tasks the theoretical (analysis of existing research) and empirical (questionnaires, interviews, Cronbach's alpha method of mathematical data processing) methods were applied. The results of the study showed that most of the students were not aware of some of the means of edutainment technology and their application possibilities. Educators were not aware of many of the edutainment technology means. The main difficulties the educators faced were: lack of time to master this technology, lack of knowledge of new tools. These results will help educators and specialists in the field of language training in teaching English to foreign students using edutainment.

BackgroundIn recent years, the widespread use of technology in classrooms has encouraged the transition from traditional lecture methods to digital‐based learning environments. Technological game‐based learning platforms, such as Kahoot!, which are used to encourage students' active participation and interaction in learning environments, are used significantly by teachers and students in educational environments worldwide.ObjectivesThis article aims to examine the effects of Kahoot, a digital learning platform, on education through meta‐analysis. This meta‐analysis provides a holistic understanding of the potential impact of Kahoot on education by synthesizing the results of various experimental studies. This study evaluates the influence of Kahoot on key educational variables, such as academic achievement, retention, motivation, anxiety and attitude, which are essential for enhancing teaching methods and optimizing learning environments.MethodsThe study conducted a meta‐analysis following the guidelines outlined in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analysis (PRISMA). A total of 43 studies that met the specified criteria were included in the sample, providing a comprehensive overview of the impact of Kahoot across different contexts. The sample was n = 1706 for the experimental group and n = 1647 for the control group.Results and ConclusionThe findings from the meta‐analysis indicate that Kahoot has a significant moderate positive effect on academic achievement, with an average effect size of 0.772 (95%CI: 0.540–1.004). The analysis also shows a very large positive effect on retention, with an average effect size of 1.492, suggesting that students using Kahoot tend to have significantly higher retention compared with those who do not. For motivation, Kahoot demonstrates a large positive effect, with an average effect size of 0.960, indicating that students using Kahoot tend to be more motivated. The impact on anxiety is less clear, with a small negative effect size of −0.338, suggesting a moderate reduction in anxiety levels among students using Kahoot. Lastly, Kahoot appears to have a medium positive effect on students' attitudes towards learning, with an average effect size of 0.678.TakeawaysThese results underscore the potential of Kahoot as an effective educational tool. The results of this study provide valuable guiding information for educators and policy makers by helping to optimize teaching methods and learning environments through the effective use of digital tools, such as Kahoot. The findings suggest that Kahoot can increase academic achievement, retention, motivation and attitudes and potentially reduce anxiety, making it a promising digital tool for modern educational practice.
