Abstract
This research aims to analyze the impact of using Kahoot on developing EFL ninth-grade students' vocabulary. This study was carried out in a public school in the province of Loja, where 40 students voluntarily participated. They were divided into two groups; one attended traditional classes, while the other received classes using the Kahoot platform. Researchers implemented a quantitative and qualitative method to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the object study. A pre-test and post-test were applied to students to measure the effectiveness of this technological tool. Also, a survey and interview were conducted to determine students' perceptions of this implementation. Results demonstrated that Kahoot facilitated students' vocabulary acquisition as this platform allowed the participants access to various resources that helped them learn vocabulary better. In addition, students felt engaged and motivated when working with this tool, mentioning that they would like to continue using Kahoot since this tool allows them to acquire vocabulary while having fun while learning.
