ABSTRACT

This study was aimed to get detail experience of educators on using Mentimeter in ELT Classroom. Three educators were selected based on their 3-year experience in using Mentimeter. By means of SWOT anaylisis, the findings were categorised into 4 points (Strength, weakness, opportunity and threat. The study found that Mentimeter has strength on the term of accessibility, students’ engagement, brainstorming, participation and simplicity. Afterwards, the study also reported that Mentimeter brings weakness on its implementation such as internet connection, visibility on user name and time consuming in open-ended questions point. Moreover, the Mentimeter also indicates promising features on its application such as for engaging students, providing quick responses, and facilitating data collection through features like polling and multiple-choice questions. Lastly, Mentimeter is reported to have some potential threats of reliance on device and internet connectivity in the classroom.

KEYWORDS:
