The following paper covers an intervention conducted in two high schools where educational conditions demand innovation in the teaching of English. Hence, Generation Z characteristics, microlearning, and mobile learning served as the background for a new way of promoting a better learning experience during the coronavirus confinement period[1]. The purpose of this study was to enhance the teaching-learning experience of English in high schoolers by using online quizzes that integrated multimedia materials. Action research was used hand in hand with grounded theory by appealing to qualitative approach techniques for data analysis. Findings revealed that the use of online quizzes with video clips to transmit knowledge fostered a positive experience in foreign language learning as learners were inspired to flexibly interact with digital academic content; also, an attractive-innovative approach and an easily accessible digital learning environment were promoted. Among the main conclusions, it can be highlighted that educational issues are unique in every context and, therefore, educators need to consider their students’ and community’s traits to find a proper solution to issues that emerge.
