Abstract	Technology use in the classroom to improve student's learning has gained significant attention over the past few years. Technology has metamorphosed from CALL to MALL and the use of gamification. Teachers are more concerned with methodologies that can improve students' motivation and engagement, particularly in EFL classrooms. This mixed method that utilized qualitative and quantitative approaches to assess how Kahoot, a game-based learning tool, can be integrated with learning to improve student's engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes. A total of 36 students took part in the study. The students were grouped into two; the experimental group (20 students) and the control group (16 students). The experimental group took various tests and two main exams, known as Language Acquisition and Learning Exams. The study also explored the participants' perception about Kahoot to determine its effectiveness as a learning tool. Cronbach's alpha, descriptive statistics, and SPPS were used to analyze the data. The findings showed that the Kahoot game not only augments the learning process but also improves students' motivation, engagement, and positively impacts the classroom dynamics. (As Provided).
