Abstract :

Mastering English tenses is crucial for A2 Flyers students, enabling them to expand their language proficiency and excel in English examinations such as the Cambridge test. However, many schools and centers solely rely on traditional grammar-based teaching methods and paper exercises, resulting in student disinterest. To address this issue, educators must incorporate modern technological tools to cultivate students’ enthusiasm for learning tenses. Kahoot! and Quizizz present promising opportunities for both teachers and students. This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of using Kahoot! and Quizizz in teaching English tenses to Flyers. Participants in the study are A2 level students at Phuong Nam Language Center. Quantitative data was gathered through pre-test and post-test assessments, while qualitative data was obtained through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The test scores indicated a significant improvement in students’ academic performance, with the mean score increasing from 4.50 in the pre-test to 7.55 in the post-test, indicating notable progress. Moreover, the results highlighted the students’ heightened engagement during the teaching and learning process, particularly with the use of Kahoot! and Quizizz. Consequently, these quiz applications proved to be beneficial tools for teaching English tenses to Flyers.
