Abstract
This paper presents an action research with the purposes of exploring experiences of English major freshmen at a school of Thai Nguyen University with interactive applications and determining if Classkick application is effective in improving the students' engagement in online teaching and learning. The subjects of the study were 38 students at the school. To achieve the desired results, inventory questionnaires, students' engagement evaluation (known as the pre-and post-test survey), and group discussion were employed in the data collection procedure. The results suggested that most of the students hadpositive experiences with various interactive applications and Classkick wasan excellent resource for increasing student involvement. The application was said to be a convenient tool as it allows users to submit text, photographs, video, and recorded voice responses to their assignments. With Classkick, the students also found it simple, adaptable, and enjoyable to participate in class. Thus, the researcher advises educators to get the most out of Classkick when conducting online lessons.
