This is a link about Kahoot that I have created. You can see and try it.

Kahoot is a game-based interactive platform that can create a fun learning space for students, enabling them to participate in class through competitive quiz games.

Why I recommend Kahoot for English teacher?

1. Easy to use

Kahoot is a web-based language learning platform.

You can easily find it on Google with its name, and it doesn't require any downloading.

You can start using it just by opening it, and go on a Kahoot journey anytime and anywhere you want.

2.Many founctions

Kahoot can not only be used as an activity or game in the classroom, but it can also help you prepare classroom content by organizing your materials in a better way.

With a wide variety of games available on Kahoot, you can choose the appropriate game to design based on your learning goals and content. These diverse and interesting games can help you better conduct your language classroom.

My thought of Kahoot！

1. Highly interactive

During the use of Kahoot in the classroom, it displays the remaining time on the left and the number of people who have answered on the right in real-time. After the students make their choices, Kahoot will directly display whether their answer is correct. Kahoot's interactivity is very strong, it can stimulate students' participation and thinking, enhance their learning interest and motivation. Through quiz games and discussions, students can interact with their classmates, solve problems together, and improve their cooperation and communication skills. At the same time, teachers can collect and analyze students' feedback and performance in real-time on the Kahoot platform, providing useful reference for subsequent teaching adjustments and improvements.

2. Motivation

I think the biggest highlight of Kahoot is that it can provide motivation for students to learn. Every time a student answers a question, their corresponding score and rank will be displayed. This can effectively stimulate students' fighting spirit, allowing them to learn knowledge autonomously, review knowledge, and listen carefully in class. I think this is very important for language teaching.

Audience and limitations

I think the main audience for Kahoot should be 👆new English teachers👆, as it can provide more fun and increase their interest and motivation in learning English. In terms of content, Kahoot is more suitable for learning vocabulary, reviewing knowledge, and judging concepts.

However, one limitation of Kahoot is that although it can be very helpful for learning English, it is still a 👎game👎, which may make students overly focused on the form of the class rather than the knowledge itself. Additionally, the ranking mechanism of Kahoot may motivate students to participate, but it could also have a 👎negative impact👇 on those who rank lower.
