EFL Teachers’ Challenges and Benefits in Teaching Grammar Using Quizizz (Wayground)

Abstract

This study focuses on the challenges and benefits faced by EFL teachers in teaching grammar using Quizizz. Nowadays, the implementation of digital technology is rapidly developing in the learning process (Heilporn et al., 2021). Various technology-based learning media have been widely implemented by teachers in classroom learning. However, in the implementation, teachers still experience challenges related to technical aspects. Therefore, this study explores the challenges and benefits of EFL teachers in teaching grammar using Quizizz. This study was designed as a qualitative case study. It was conducted at an Islamic senior high school in East Java, Indonesia. This school was chosen because the English teachers there had previous experience using Quizizz in grammar learning. This made the school relevant to the topic of this study, as it provided an opportunity to observe the use of technology-based learning media in English language teaching practices in the classroom. I also obtained permission from the principal and English teachers to conduct research at this school. The participants in this study are English teachers who have experience teaching using Quizizz. Data was collected through interview and observation. In the interview, I collected data from teachers about the challenges and benefits they experienced in teaching grammar using Quizizz. In addition, I also directly observed the use of Quizizz in classroom learning.
