II. SIGNIFICANCE 
The results of the present experience show the positive effects of Quiz-based lessons 
on high school students’ active involvement and motivation. These following 
recommendations can be made for instructional practice. These pedagogical 
implications need to be taken with a great awareness by instructors and educators 
As mentioned above, the using Quizizz in revision activity made significant 
contributions to students’ English involvement and motivation with score increase. 
Therefore, one possible implication is that teachers should design quiz in Quizizz 
which seem to be suitable to trigger students’ deep involvement and motivation 
Additionally, after implementing this paper, the writer have had full awareness of 
game-based lessons’ crucial role in teaching and learning process. Therefore the 
writer always tries to observe and evaluate exactly about each student’s strengths, 
which helps the teacher to design the suitable Quiz-based lesson plans for many 
students in the class. More particularly, lessons seem to more fascinating for students 
to attend class more actively, in other word, learners are more eager to participate 
the activities and learning procedure.

III. SUGGESTIONS 
Because of the limited number of participants and activities, some suggestions are 
proposed for further research. 
The first suggestion is that the next experience should be carried out with larger 
numbers of participants with different stages of the lesson, including the warm-up 
activity, pre step, while step post step and for a variety of topics. As a result, the 
experience would be more effective, reliable, interesting and convincing. 
Next, in this experience, only one grade 11 was taught with Quiz-based lessons 
therefore, another suggestion is that these game-based lessons should be used in a 
wide range of levels from primary education to upper-secondary education even 
university level. 
One more suggestion is that in the future experience should focus on exploring and 
studying about teaching students how to make the lessons based on Quizizz online 
platform that are useful for the learning process. Making the Quiz-based lessons by 
students will encourage their creativity as well as active participation in learning 
process. 
In short, despite the above shortcomings, it is hoped that it will contribute to the modest 
success of students’ involvement and motivation. Therefore, it can help students and 
give them encouragement as well as knowledge they need for their involvement and 
motivation which play integral parts in success of anything in particular learning 
English.
