Effects of using quizizz and wordwall to acquire vocabulary as a foreign language in second-grade students

Abstract

Due to the lack of basic vocabulary in young learners, it is crucial to identify the best way to help them to acquire vocabulary memorably. Games are created to innovate the learning process. Thus, in this research analyzes the impact of games on vocabulary acquisition in elementary EFL learners to find the effects of using Quizizz and Wordwall and identify learners' perceptions towards the use of those games is important. The appropriate research method for this project is a critical literature review through a mixed-method approach with qualitative and quantitative studies using those two games. This analysis will discuss the best way to teach vocabulary through an online game, adapting it to the English class and using the technological tools differently. Considerable literature on the effects of online games provides us with a general idea and guidance to innovate the English classes toward using games. The study findings will provide insights into the benefits of using Quizizz and Wordwall games in English classrooms, showing the real effects of those games on students' performance to help teachers incorporate them adequately.
