Improving the quality of teaching and learning English online through the website padlet.com

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has driven teachers at Hanoi University of Industry (HaUI) to transform their way of teaching over the past two years. At HaUI, English lessons for non- English majors, instead of being based on blended learning as usual, are totally carried out online. With the hope of helping students learn English effectively, the authors conducted an action research of exploiting padlet.com in Business English speaking lessons for third-year business- majored students. The findings include students’ positive attitude and perception towards the practice and some achievements. This paper is expected to enlighten teachers in general, those of languages in particular, the way to exploit padlet.com in order to improve their students’ online learning quality.
