Acceptance and Attitude Towards Quizziz Usage in Reading Comprehension Lessons Among ESL Secondary Students

Abstract

The traditional methods of teaching without any usage of technology are no longer able to attract students’ attention specifically during the reading lesson in the ESL classroom. This is related to the characteristics of the current students that are the generations which preferred the usage of technology during the lesson. Thus, 21st-century teaching and learning should be applied in the ESL classroom. However, teachers still need to investigate and acknowledged which technology used in the lesson is accepted or rejected by the students. This is necessary as students’ perceptions based on its perceived use and perceived usefulness determine the utilization of the technology used in the lesson. Hence, this study aims to find out the secondary students’ acceptance and attitude toward Quizziz usage in reading comprehension lessons. The objectives of this study were to examine the students’ level of acceptance in learning reading comprehension lessons through the usage of Quizziz and to identify the students’ attitudes regarding the use of Quizziz in reading comprehension lessons. This research is a quantitative study using a Likert scale questionnaire involving 30 secondary students as respondents in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur. The findings of this study suggested that Quizziz usage is easy to use and helpful for secondary students in learning reading comprehension lessons.
