1. What is it?

Quizlet offers a wealth of tools for teachers and learners who are looking for fun tasks for class or homework.  With piles of free flashcards, games, and quizzes, you will improve your students' skills and build confidence through practice.

2. Why Quizlet?

It provides a wide range of study tools and enables you to enhance your creativity by designing your own activities because it is an authoring tool. It provides ready-made tasks that can be implemented, and Students can also download the app on their smart phones and study everywhere. For example, there are various available activities that can help young learners to memorize a large number of words for free. They can improve their pronunciation and spelling skills by practicing with the audio. Quizlet will motivate your learners to engage in game-like tasks in an autonomous learning environment.

3. It enhances Second Language learning

This tool is relevant for Language learning in all contexts including for English as a second Language learners. Teachers in low-resource classrooms where there is a limited access to internet can resort to computer labs or to mobile learning. Most students in my classes have smart phones or can use the computers room to practice with Quizlet. They can work in pairs to complete the tasks and teachers can use the data projector for feedback. Evaluating each student's progress and helping them individually to overcome their weaknesses is a real challenge in large and heterogeneous classroom. With this tool, teachers can thus design and post different tasks on the class blog in order to give learners the opportunity to practice their English outside the classroom. In doing so, they will bring a fun touch on form-focused lessons and enable students to learn and have fun.

4. Some limitations

Even though Quizlet can foster learners' autonomy and motivation to engage in tasks, it does not encourage meaningful interaction in the target language, particularly for students who use it outside the classroom. Game-like tasks are attractive for kids but they do not always enable them to interact with their peers though they are learner centered.

Unleash your creativity and make the most of Quizlet.
