The Impact of Quizizz-Based Activities on Students' Reading Comprehension in EFL Learners

Abstract

This systematic review explores the impact of Quizizz-based activities on the reading comprehension of EFL learners. Quizizz, a gamified educational platform, incorporates features such as instant feedback, competitive leaderboards, and visually appealing interfaces, which enhance student engagement and support the development of critical reading strategies, including skimming, scanning, and understanding textual structures.Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 checklist, this review analyzed 30 peer-reviewed articles published in 2024. The findings demonstrate that Quizizz significantly improves reading comprehension across various educational levels by fostering motivation, self-directed learning, and active classroom participation. Despite some challenges, such as access to technology, the overall benefits of integrating Quizizz into reading instruction are evident, offering a transformative approach to modern EFL education. This study highlights the potential of Quizizz to enhance learning outcomes and provides educators with practical insights into leveraging gamified tools to create more engaging and effective reading lessons.
