Abstract

Quizwhizzer is one of the ICT tools that can bring positive impacts on students' performance. On the other hand, since Quizwhizzer contains game elements, it potentially distracts students from the learning process, and teachers and students face several challenges when utilizing it in the classroom. In line with these issues, the present study aims to investigate the benefits and challenges of learning English through Quizwhizzer, as well as to uncover suggestions for overcoming these challenges.

Our sample of participants studies in a public school particularly SMPN 189 Jakarta.
