Objectives This study aims to explore the educational utility of using clicker apps in TOPIK writing classes, focusing on fostering effective learning strategies for Korean writing education. The primary objective is to examine the interactive and engaging potential of clicker apps in supporting learners' participation and skill development. Methods The research analyzed case studies from the first semester of 2024 in D University's undergraduate TOPIK writing classes. Clicker apps such as Mentimeter, Padlet, and Socrative were employed for activities like vocabulary quizzes, structured writing exercises, and outlining tasks. Students' responses and satisfaction levels were collected via Naver Forms. Results The use of clicker apps resulted in enhanced student engagement and immersion. Participants reported high satisfaction with the interactive features of the apps, though issues such as technical difficulties (e.g., internet instability) were noted as limitations. Conclusions Clicker apps proved to be effective tools in facilitating active student participation and real-time feedback, making them valuable for Korean writing education. The study highlights the need for further experimental research to validate their systematic benefits.
