Learning English can be a challenging experience, especially when it comes to learning grammar. Conventional classroom approaches are considered wasteful of time, ineffective, and boring. Given these difficulties, the purpose of this study is to investigate students’ perceptions of learning English grammar through Quizizz, with a focus on modal verbs. Quantitative descriptive method was employed, and the subjects were 51 Grade XI students from two classes in a Sidoarjo high school in Indonesia. The data were gathered by administering thirteen closed-ended questionnaire items targeting five key indicators. The results, which were presented in percentage bar graphs, showed that students had a predominantly positive response to the introduction of Quizizz into the learning process. According to the study findings, Quizizz is a valuable and entertaining tool that can effectively replace traditional methods when used to enhance grammar instruction in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) courses.
