Innovation in Language Learning

As we all know, classical study methods of students are about to fade in the age of technology. Today's learners are not digital immigrants like we are, they were born into this technology age and they are mostly digital natives. For that reason they are better at using the technology than the digital immigrants- the people of 70s or 80s :) For that reason in our institution- Anadolu University School of Foreign Languages-we decided to run our courses with the assistance of Edmodo which is an online platform where teachers and students interact and share information. We may call it the Facebook of Education for its user-friendly interface. We decided to use this platform to enhance student autonomy by letting them choose the activities by themselves and share their topics of listening or reading with their classmates and also share their ideas on their selected topics by answering some questions.

In this study I wanted to evaluate their perception of using Edmodo by using the poll function of Edmodo. I worked with B2.1 level students-Intermediate English.
