摘要：
Many educational technology-based tools have been employed in language classrooms worldwide. The application of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) and Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) platforms has been implemented in most higher education institutions. Quizizz has emerged and is applied by many language instructors since many research results indicated the effectiveness of using it in language learning. This study aims to investigate university students’ attitudes towards the use of Quizizz in their English language learning. The employment of both quantitative and qualitative methods was to identify the university students’ attitudes and satisfaction as well as the correlation between them. The study was carried out with the participation of 116 university students through a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. The results showed that students had positive attitudes towards the application of Quizizz in learning English (M=3.989, SD=.592). The level of satisfaction perceived by students was also high (M=4.078, SD=.760). There was a strong correlation between students’ attitudes and satisfaction, in which students’ behavior was more considerable than affective and cognitive components. Although students preferred Quizizz because it could enhance their motivation and engagement, and memory, some issues were raised for Quizizz developers and teachers to upgrade and address the errors in Quizizz games. Deriving from the findings of this study it is recommended that Quizizz is a useful tool for English language learning and teaching. © 2022,International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning.
