Learning new languages or improving your vocabulary doesn’t have to be a daunting repetitive task. There are plenty of ways you can “gamify” the studying process. Using a vocabulary test maker is one of them. Don’t worry, the playful approach will not make it any less serious or useful.
Recent studies have shown that the use of online games to learn a new language significantly improved students’ grammar and nuanced understanding of the words and phrases. Surveyed students said they had enjoyed the challenging, yet easy-going nature of the quizzes, as well as the ability to control the amount of time they’d spend studying.
Similar finds were supported byStatista survey in 2016, where 96% of respondents said that using digital tools helped them prepare for tests and exams.
It is not hard to understand why online vocabulary quizzes are so motivating for students. There is so much space for creativity compared to bleak, boring tests on paper. Even if tests engage with more complex studying matter, an online vocabulary test maker enables both visual and logical segmentation that makes studying look less intimidating. Thirty questions in a row seem like less work if they are separated into thirty visually engaging parts, rather than stuffed on one paper page.
This concept is also known as “chunking,” and there isa body of scientific evidence to support that breaking lessons or tests into smaller pieces of related information improves memory and learning capacity. If you look closely, chunking is nothing new in the digital sphere -most websites you visit and apps you use are designed to facilitate memorizing and comprehending content.

Of course, adding pictures cannot be possible for complicated words or phrases. But you can also use a bit of imagination there. We gave you a word "desolate," and asked you to connect it to the picture of a desolate place. This will not only make your quiz entertaining, but it will also improve the learning process byevoking visual association.
Immediate and clear feedback is another perk of online vocabulary quizzes - so don't forget to add this element. Using your vocabulary test maker, you can insert answers after each question, using clear text or an image page.
