Kahoot is perfect to enhance vocabulary acquisition and as it is a tool that needs a technological device such as computers, Ipads or cellphones, will be interesting for children to use it.

What limitations can you see with the use of this technology for
the purposes of language learning?
If you do not have access to any technological device that I mentioned before nor access to the internet, you won't be able to use Kahoot.
