Unfortunately, the conversation quickly changed in a virtual classroom because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Quizizz is well-known for effectively facilitating remote learning as a learning platform that provides various features. This project will use Quizizz as a substitute for traditional lectures for students in non-English departments. The Quizizz platform in this study's descriptive qualitative research approach provides a deep discussion on the use of the Quizizz platform in creating interactive remote lecturing. Quizizz was found highly beneficial and engaging for many students, and they strongly supported utilizing it in other disciplines. It is also important to highlight that the students' improved motivation to learn English was aided by their increased Quizizz engagement. Furthermore, this platform specifically increased student involvement in online English education, notably for students not enrolled in the English Department. Finally, despite the outbreak, providing Quizizz to students positively affected them. Students still find motivation and enthusiasm in virtual interactive learning experiences through Quizizz. .

Introduction Classroom interaction has been considered one of the crucial pedagogical components to guide the achievement of mastering a language. In a traditional face-to-face classroom setting, interaction is found through the way a teacher delivers material, the students' gestures, the atmosphere in question and answer sessions, conversation in group work activities, and the nerve of students in doing their evaluation. People are used to that kind of interaction. Thapa and Lin (2013) explain that interaction is an important social activity for students in a language classroom that helps them develop their social skills, as well as their self-confidence and sense of confidence as proficient language users.[1] Unfortunately, during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, the interaction was suddenly forced to be adjusted in a virtual classroom. The interaction is shifted from the adjustable teacher's whole body language and gesturing in front of the class to a close-up display of the teacher explaining material in square box pop-up windows. In the limited internet service areas, such as Indonesia, teaching-learning activity is conducted through voice notes and text only.[2][3] This condition negatively influences the performance and motivation of English as Second Language learners in Indonesia at all levels of education. [4][5][6] The dining table and personal computer may have replaced the classroom and whiteboard, but student engagement in learning English needs to persist. Some options of online learning media can help in a virtual classroom. One of them that support two-way interaction in remote learning is Quizizz. A variety of tools are available on the learning platform Quizizz to create an interactive and exciting classroom activity. Teachers and lecturers can bring face-to-face classroom activity to this
