Abstract

This study explores EFL students’ perceptions of Mentimeter as a primary medium for classroom discussion and examines its impact on student engagement at UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang. The research addresses the critical challenge of low active participation among Indonesian EFL learners, largely due to psychological barriers such as shyness and fear of mistakes. Utilizing a Mixed Methods design, the study collected quantitative data from 60 students and deeper qualitative data from six informants through interviews and classroom observation. The findings indicate a highly positive student perception, with key themes revolving around increased Interactivity, enhanced Confidence and Motivation, improved Learning Effectiveness, and better identification of Student Difficulties.
Specifically, Mentimeter significantly enhances student engagement by reducing anxiety through anonymity, promoting inclusivity, and sustaining focus with real time feedback. The anonymity feature was crucial, with a majority of students reporting increased confidence to participate compared to speaking directly. In conclusion, Mentimeter successfully transforms conventional EFL classrooms into a more interactive, student-centered, and responsive learning environment.
