Padlet, a discussion board, students’ perceptionsAbstract
Padlet.com is a cutting-edge platform enabling learners to collaborate effortlessly online by posting their work on a digital wall. Integrating Padlet into language teaching is thought to enhance remote learning, collaboration, and access to diverse language learning resources, making the learning experience more accessible, flexible, and interactive. The study aims to explore the perceptions of Saigon University students regarding using Padlet as a discussion board in their learning process. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used to gather data through questionnaires and reflections. According to the results, the students acknowledge that the integration of Padlet enables them to create their responses in different forms, identify spelling mistakes and grammatical errors, as well as give peer assessments and comments. Additionally, most students agree that Padlet creates an enjoyable environment for productive and collaborative practice, which encourages active participation and engagement in their language learning classes. On the other hand, they admit that the greatest limitation is the stability of the Internet connection during the learning practice using Padlet.
