Abstract

The use of applications in language learning to enhance students' performance is worth exploring for its pedagogical implications. Socrative is becoming popular in second-language acquisition. Consequently, this study investigated the use of Socrative as an educational tool for learning phrasal verbs. 33 EFL students at three different levels of English (B2, C1, and C2) participated in the research, which involved reading short texts and doing vocabulary exercises on Google forms, prior to competing in quizzes on Socrative. The study aimed to examine the students' perceptions of learning phrasal verbs via quizzes and the effectiveness of Socrative for this purpose. The findings indicate that their general overview was positive, and that competing both against themselves and their peers played a significant role in their learning experience. Socrative, a user-friendly application easily accessible on any portable device, and which provides instant feedback, can be deemed a convenient tool to create an environment that can motivate and engage students in their learning context.
