Globally, vocabulary acquisition is one of the most interesting aspects of studying English as a second language. In the education field worldwide, the use of Quizizz in recent years is on the rise. In Malaysia for instance, the number of teachers resorting to Quizizz in conducting their lessons is increasing significantly. In other words, the use of Quizizz for learning vocabulary has been gaining popularity over the past few years. Quizizz is an educational application download that contains an online quiz and can be used in multiplayer. In order to test the effectiveness of Quizizz, a specific type of assessment is proposed to measure students’ vocabulary level in which they received swift feedback. This study is proposed with the hope that Quizizz will garner massive acknowledgements it deserves and place its cornerstone in the world of teaching for teachers in teaching vocabulary.
