Kahoot! has emerged as one of the most successful learning gamification platforms and its use in Malaysia has been rising in recent years. However, there is a lack of research into the effectiveness of Kahoot! and other gamification platforms in Malaysia even as calls to increase its use continue to rise. This research intended to help fill this gap. The research examined the perceptions of students and teachers on gamification in general and Kahoot! in particular. It also examined the impact of Kahoot! features, Kahoot! functionality, and demographic factors on satisfaction with the use of Kahoot! in ESL teaching and learning in Malaysia. It was a quantitative study that contained two populations: ESL teachers and ESL students. A total of 150 participants were included in the study consisting of 50 teachers and 100 students from a primary school in Nilai. Structured questionnaires were used for the data collection for both populations. Statistical analysis was used in the research to make sense of the findings. The findings of this research have revealed that the Kahoot! features, functionality, and the use of Kahoot! has a positive feedback and perceptions from both the participants. Teachers believed Kahoot! to be a very successful tool for boosting passive students' involvement and promoting competitive learning. The main benefits of Kahoot!, according to teachers, include enhanced student involvement, improved classroom dynamics, higher motivation, rapid feedback, and higher energy levels throughout sessions. Demographic differences were also notable among teachers with younger teachers, those with less experience, and those of the male gender are more likely to hold positive perceptions towards the use of Kahoot!. Students said Kahoot was particularly good at building motivation and supporting and reinforcing learning. Among students, gender was a significant factor with boys being more receptive to the use of Kahoot!.

Advancements in technology have led to the emergence of various learning models and tools that can enhance the language teaching-learning process. Language practitioners are now able to leverage technology, including hardware and software, to increase student engagement in the language learning process. This study investigates the experiences of Moroccan English teachers with online games in EFL classrooms. The study surveyed 107 educators, 52.3% of whom were male and 47.7% of whom were female. The results indicate that online games motivate students to learn, improve classroom rapport, and promote 21st Century Skills. However, the findings report that online games create noise, disorder, and time loss. Furthermore, the study highlights that Kahoot is the most widely used online game among Moroccan English teachers. This research provides insights into the potential benefits and drawbacks of using online games in EFL classrooms. It also underscores the importance of considering context-specific factors that impact the use of online games by EFL teachers.

“…In qualitative research, the method of purposive sampling was employed. It suggests that persons or locations are chosen for research (Aidoune et al, 2022;Nanuru & Utama, 2020) because they can answer open-ended questions that researchers pose during interviews. Themes like conflict kinds, culture, and language can be discovered during the interviews; as a result, conflicts can be settled based on these conflict types and with the help of local knowledge.…”

For a long time, Maluku civilization has been heterogeneous. It can be seen in differences in ethnicity, beliefs, language, and culture, creating conflicts. This research intends to identify and resolve conflicts utilizing local wisdom, particularly regional language, and cultural viewpoints. It is a descriptive qualitative study that adopts an ethnolinguistic perspective to analyze data. Data was collected through participatory observation using an interview guide containing open-ended questions. Thirty participants comprised ten women and twenty men, aged 38 to 82 years; they were kings, traditional leaders, religious leaders, police, and conflict victims. Findings show that socio-cultural aspects, i.e., territorial disputes, different perspectives on culture, and youth delinquency, dominate conflicts in Maluku, Indonesia. However, using language in advice, proverbs, pela, gandong, molo, or nyelam as local wisdom can build peace. It indicates a new model for handling conflict in the regional language and culture to maintain security, continuity, and stability.
