摘要：Student Response Systems (SRS) can provide effective, immediate, and efficient feedback tostudents, particularly when undertaking formative assessment. Coupled with active learningapproaches, the use of such systems can be beneficial for English language learners byproviding opportunities for increased engagement with content and reflection on theirknowledge gaps. These opportunities can then potentially lead to increased learnerparticipation, motivation, and linguistic skill development. As an SRS system, the pedagogicalpracticality of using and developing content with the Plickers application is reviewed, withfeatures of the application presented in detail. Methods of applying the application,determining how it aligns with technological frameworks, and presenting the potential of theapplication for use in the language teaching context are also presented. Ultimately as a tool thatcan be used to engage students of all ages in formative assessment, it is unique in that it can dothis by taking technology out of learner hands while simultaneously assessing all students atonce.
