Technology in Foreign Language Education: Using the Blooket Platform to Enhance Motivation for Vietnamese Learners of Foreign Language

In recent years, teaching and learning methods combined with online media participation have gradually become the mainstream trend in universities, especially in foreign language classrooms. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, lecturers and students have to get used to online teaching and learning activities gradually. To ensure the quality of lectures and effective learning for students, lecturers need to look for and study effective and attractive teaching methods. It cannot be denied that, at present, the Internet is well-developed, and online learning supporting platforms are being developed more and more. This paper introduces one of the platforms namely Blooket for foreign language teachers to integrate into different stages of their lessons for enhancing the motivation of Vietnamese learners of Foreign Languages. The responses of 113 participants in a university in the south of Vietnam show that using the Blooket platform creates great motivation and interest in learning foreign languages for the majority of students. Besides, the use of the Blooket platform in learning foreign languages is considered effective in increasing students’ memorization, concentration, and cooperation with friends and teachers. Orientations to apply this supportive tool in teaching students majoring in foreign languages are also discussed in this article.
