Students’ perception of using Google classroom for EFL learning

Amelia Oktaviana, Tommy Hastomo

Abstract


Students need to be proficient in using technology, specifically e-learning apps like Google Classroom which is created by Google. Google Classroom connects with other Google apps such as Google Form, Google Drive, and Google Spreadsheet. Google Classroom is popular for academic purposes because it is user-friendly and does not take up much device storage space. A study was conducted to determine students' perceptions of using Google Classroom. Qualitative research is the research design in this study. The questionnaire, which contained 13 questions, was administered using Google Forms and data analysis was conducted using SPSS. The results of the study indicated that students agreed with using Google Classroom, but emphasized the need to integrate it with face-to-face learning, which aids their comprehension of material. Additionally, students find Google Classroom helpful for submitting assignments or accessing supplementary materials.
