English Vocabulary Quiz (6 questions)
Test your CEFR B1 English vocabulary with academic and everyday words essential for intermediate learners.
Purpose-built language quizzes, not slide-embedded polling
Poll Everywhere turns presentations into live polls — useful for large lectures, but not designed for language assessment. Quizzz gives language teachers AI quiz generation from any vocabulary list or textbook passage, Magic Link sharing without student accounts or SMS responses, furigana and pinyin support, and per-vocabulary analytics that reveal exactly where students struggle.

Why Language Teachers Look Beyond Poll Everywhere
Poll Everywhere is built for real-time audience polling in university lectures — not ongoing language assessment. Every session requires a live presentation context. There's no AI generation from vocabulary lists or reading passages, no furigana or pinyin support, and no vocabulary-level breakdown to track retention over time. Students respond via SMS, app, or web — all requiring some form of account or phone access. Pricing is aimed at institutional licenses, not individual teachers. For language instructors who need continuous, data-driven vocabulary assessment — not a lecture polling tool — Poll Everywhere is the wrong fit.
What Quizzz Does Differently
Quizzz is a purpose-built language assessment platform, not a polling add-on for presentations: AI-generated quizzes from any lesson material in seconds, Magic Link sharing with zero student sign-up or SMS required, native furigana and pinyin annotations, and per-vocabulary analytics that tell you exactly which words need more classroom time. No live session required, no institutional license, no phone number needed — just purposeful language assessment with the data to back better teaching decisions.
Key Differences
AI Quiz Generation — No Presentation Required
Paste vocabulary lists, textbook passages, or teaching notes and get a complete quiz in seconds. No building slides or polling questions one-by-one like Poll Everywhere — Quizzz generates questions, distractors, and answer keys automatically from your actual lesson content. Use it before, during, or after class.
Magic Link — No Accounts, SMS, or Apps
Students click a URL and start answering immediately. No Poll Everywhere account, no SMS response, no app download, no institutional login. Zero sign-up friction means lower participation barriers — especially for adult learners or students who don't have reliable phone access.
Built for Japanese and Chinese
Native furigana and pinyin annotations. JLPT N5–N1 vocabulary alignment. TOCFL and Mandarin support. Language-specific features that Poll Everywhere — a general audience response system — doesn't currently offer.
Vocabulary-Level Analytics
See which specific vocabulary items students miss most, track performance across multiple quiz sessions, and identify class-wide weak spots. Actionable retention data that helps you plan better lessons — not just live poll percentage bars from a single lecture.
