A Look Back: A Pretty Cool Review Activity I’m Doing With My ELL Newcomers
(I’m republishing my best posts from the first half of 2025. You can see the entire list of them here)

The TEFL Zone blog shared an interesting idea where the teacher regularly adds several questions a week to a Google Form quiz that is an ongoing review of what is covered in class. Students can take it as often as they like, and it functions as a review and formative assessment.
I like the idea, though I thought that a massive Google Form might not be too engaging for my students.
So, I’ve modified my version into it being a Quizizz. It offers a ton of different kinds of questions, and one Quizizz can handle up to five hundred questions. It’s easy to make them “retakable” as many times as students want.
Even better, I can have peer tutors create it! When students are absent, and tutors don’t have anyone to tutor, they look at the materials we’ve previously used and create a mix of question types to add to our massive Quizizz.
An added benefit to this tool is that incoming students can use it to help them catch-up, just like they can use our online flashcards.
It’s working pretty well!
