SKKN Applying quizizz to design english exercises for 12th form students in Tuong Duong Mountainous district

uthor has designed 20 exercises on Quizizz for warm-up activities, 
practice, regular tests, activities in the review class during English lessons (detailed 
in Appendix 1) 
This solution was first used in the 2
nd
 semester of the 2020-2021 school year. 
At this time, students took a break from school because of the Covid-19 epidemic. 
Initially, when they first became acquainted with the form of online learning, both 
teachers and students had many difficulties in teaching and learning. But thanks to 
the coordinated use of teaching tools. Students are familiar with Quizizz during 
online review hours, teachers can easily track the results of their homework 
through quizizz statistics. This solution continues to be applied in English teaching 
20 
activities in the first semester and is being applied in the 2
nd
 semester of the 2021-
2022 school year more often, especially in practice and review activities for 12
th
form students. 
After a period of applying this form of teaching, I have gained a lot of 
positive feedback from students, colleagues and professional departments. The 
results are shown in the following statistics:

 In the 1
st
 graduation test’s results when students begin to be familiarized 
with Quizizz with low frequency and the second time before and after Quizizz is 
used more often in practice activities, we can see that the students’ achievement in 
learning English increase significantly. In four surveyed classes with an increase 
from 5.6 to 6.15 in average score, class 12C ranks the first. Following the general 
pattern outlined above, 12B and 12D finally tip over mark 5 from mark 3.48 and 
3.8 respectively. It is 12K which shows a slight rise inspite of the low mark. Based 
on the result presented above the researcher stopped the research in cycle 1 because 
the criterion of success of the research was fulfilled in which all the individual 
score was changed clearly .

Discussion 
The researcher did the Classroom Action research to enhance the students’ 
achievement in learning English especially practice, and revise English. Reffering 
to the result presented in figure 1 above, we can know that the students’ 
achievement in learning English increase from the pre-exam with average scores in 
four grades 12B,12C,12D,12K from 3.48, 5.6, 3.8 and 3.4 to 5.06, 6.15, 5.29, 4.6 
in the Post-exam. Therefore, we can say that Quizizz application could enhance the 
student’s achievement in learning English. That result above is in line with 
(Refnita, 2017) who argued that applying quizizz regularly can enhance the 
22 
students’ achievement. It also strengthens the result of (Rahayu & Purnawarman, 
2019) who proved that the students performed better achievement in doing English 
exercises through quizizz. In addition, it also supports the research result of 
(Aşıksoy & Sorakin, 2018) who revealed that Quizizz application is effective to 
enhance learning achievement and reduce the students’ anxiety in learning. 
Furthermore, based on the result of the questionnaire presented in table 1, we 
can conclude that most of the students presented positive views toward the use of 
quizizz for learning English, for example, most of the students said that they are 
motivated to do English exercises by applying quizizz application. It is in line with 
(Hamilton-Hankins, 2017) who revealed that the implementation of quizizz in the 
classroom can increase the students’ learning motivation. In addition, it is agreed 
with (Yan mei et al., 2019) who proved that the students presented a positive 
attitude toward the use of quizizz application class. In this case, by applying 
Quizizz, the students became more active in answering the teacher’s questions and 
able to concentrate on the material well. 
From the questionnaire given most of the students said that they felt happy in 
doing the test by applying Quizizz application. They also said that learning through 
application is easy. Those results are strengthened (Zhao, 2019) who revealed that 
the students can operate Quizizz application easily, and do the quiz happily. 
Moreover, it reported that Quizizz application assists the students in reviewing the 
materials and arouses their motivation to learn the materials CHAPTER IV.
