AN EVALUATION OF USING PADLET IN ENHANCING NON-ENGLISH STUDENTS’ LEARNING MOTIVATION AND INTERACTION IN WRITING LESSONS AT HAI PHONG UNIVERSITY

Tóm tắt

The study was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of using
Padlet in enhancing non-English student’s motivation and interaction with writing
skill at Hai Phong university. In writing lessons, interaction among students was
ineffective and normally in one way, therefore students’ motivation seemed to be
not high. Moreover, the chance for students to practice writing directly was not
much because of the limitation of learning time in class. Using Padlet in writing
lessons was expected to improve students’ motivation and interaction for non -
English majors. To achieve this purpose, the author used questionnaires to collect
data from 46 non-English students. The findings of the study showed that using
Padlet partly helped enhance students’ motivation and interaction. Students hoped
to use Padlet and other technology applications more to promote the efficiency of
learning and teaching process.
