Key words:  students’ perception, Quizizz, online quiz.  I. Introduction The use of electronic or digital media has become widespread in today's society, especially by teachers and students in the classroom. Using digital technology as an alternative approach is possible (Rahmah et al., 2019). There are numerous classroom tools and websites available today that allow teachers to create or distribute quizzes and polls during class (Chaiyo & Nokham, 2017) . Students need to use information and communication technology to meet the 21st-century skills (Diana et al., 2021). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a lot of growth in the use of digital technology in Indonesia right now. During the pandemic, the government will put out a policy on hybrid learning at the end of 2021. This is a mix of in-person and online classes. Digital technology can be used as media in the learning process. Media literacy is one of the basic skills individuals must possess in the 21st century and has become a central and inseparable part of life (Ramadhan et al., 2019). There are lots of applications and websites which can be used by students to assist them to learn. Digital technologies engender prospects for active learning and engage learners in the online learning experience. Many pedagogical theories explain the role of technology in teaching and how digital technology helps people learn (Nuci et al., 2021). Educational apps on the internet make it possible for students and teachers to talk to each other in a virtual  97  classroom, which gets them more excited about learning. Education is an attempt to teach students what they need to know to reach their goals (Rozana et al., 2018). Educational institutions should have enough room for the development of technology, which is expected to help students learn more effectively in the classroom. (Mulyadi et al., 2019). The assignment or quiz can be used by a teacher as a new way to help students learn in a digital setting. Using apps to learn has shown that the model is just as viable and effective as a new one (Yusoff et al., 2021). This is one of the media to develop student’s motivation in learning. The media give direct experience and can be used to communicate through computers, the Internet, and other means (Novelti et al., 2018). One that can be integrated with the help of technology in learning is the use of digital teaching materials or electronic teaching materials, either in the form of books, modules, student worksheets, and so on. (Ramadhan, Sukma, Indriyani, et al., 2019). Teachers can use the quiz to find out how well their students know the material, and students can also use it to find out how well they know the material. Online quizzes are supposed to get students to do things that will help them learn. Higher education institutions are putting more and more emphasis on active learning to help students develop higher-order thinking and connect knowledge to meaning (Cook & Babon, 2017). Students are involved in finding problems that go to the heart of the subject being taught (Hartidini & Ratna, 2018). This study looked at Quizizz as a digital game-based learning tool for doing English quizzes while learning from a distance. Its goal was to find out how students saw Quizizz as a tool for digital quiz-based learning and how it was used for formative assessment. This quizizz application will be applied to students of English Department of STKIP AL Maksum Langkat on third semester to assess how students’ perception on Quizizz as Digital Game-Based Learning tool to support English lessons. The research results can also be used as motivation for students and new methods in the development of education.   II. Literature Review Quizizz or quizizz.com is a digital platform in the form of an online-based assignment, test, or quiz application. Quizizz is a student engagement platform that allows teachers to conduct interactive lessons and quizzes with their students. The interactive quizzes made can be in the form of essays and multiple choices which have up to 5 answer choices including the correct answer and an image can be added to the background of the question. Quizizz is an educational app that is based on games. It brings multiple players into the classroom and makes classwork fun and interactive (Purba, 2019). Alternate choice is a special case of single-choice questions, which only have two options. In the multiple-choice format, more than one of n items can be right (Enders et al., 2021). It facilitates the construction of exams for any subject and offers a variety of reporting forms to give light on students' comprehension and the problems they struggled with (Yong & Rudolph, 2022). People think of academic performance as the end result of the learning process. In general, a student's academic performance shows how well they are learning, how well they are getting new skills, and how well they know the subject (Parte & Mellado, 2022). So quizizz application can support the output of the learning process itself. Quizizz can apply by smartphone, so the student didn’t need PC or computer to operate it. Users who have Internet access can sign up for streaming or online access to (Figliolia et al., 2021). Quizizz can give data and statistics about how well a student did right away. Quizizz is an  98  online assessment tool that can also be used as a fun group activity in the classroom. It lets all of the students practice at the same time on their computers, phones, and iPads (Irwansyah & Izzati, 2021). One study shows that students may be able to have fun during their exercise time in class by using Quizziz. It has been said that when Quizziz was used in a class, the students were more likely to be happy with the app and give the teacher a higher rating (Zhao, 2019). The students’ perception is needed to the effectively of this tools. In English learning this application can be applied to support their skills in language learning. When teaching and learning the English language, listening, speaking, reading, and writing are the four skills that get the most attention (Lim & Yunus, 2021). It helps students appreciate quizzes, put in effort to learn, be motivated to learn, get involved in activities, and do well in school (Zuhriyah & Pratolo, 2020). When the online quiz or assignment is done, the student will give the feedback. The level of learning will also depend on how good and detailed the feedback is (Gamage et al., 2019). All of these explanations show that Quizizz is a way to learn that many people can use. Quizizz can also be used to work on interesting practice questions from different sources, which can help students improve their understanding and ability to focus. writing are the four skills that get the most attention (Lim & Yunus, 2021). It helps students appreciate quizzes, put in effort to learn, be motivated to learn, get involved in activities, and do well in school (Zuhriyah & Pratolo, 2020).

All of these explanations show that Quizizz is a way to learn that many people can use. Quizizz can also be used to work on interesting practice questions from different sources, which can help students improve their understanding and ability to focus.  III. Research Method This type of research is humanities research with a quantitative research. Quantitative research is the process of collecting and analyzing numerical data. This research uses descriptive qualitative research. The subject of the research was third semester students of STKIP AL Maksum. The data were collected using questionnaire. The questioner will be given by google form. The data were analyzed using three steps of data analysis proposed by Miles and Huberman (2014), which were data reduction, data display, and draw conclusion. The data were displayed using percentage proposed by Sudijono (Sudijono, 2006).  IV. Discussion From the results of the questionnaire that has been given by giving 10 questions about their perceptions in doing assignments or quizzes, there are several answers and results that will be discussed. The discussion will contain every question in the questionnaire in the form of a google form. The google form link can be accessed via the following link https://s.id/STKIP_ALMAKSUM_studentsperception with a total of 31 students.    99        Picture 1 The first question is useful to ensure that student activities through online do not experience obstacles.
