EFL Students' Perceptions of Using Nearpod in Online English Learning

Abstract

One of the key elements to success in learning a foreign language is interaction. However, maintaining the appropriate interaction among students in online classrooms can be difficult during the Covid-19 epidemic. To increase the effectiveness of online contact throughout the study process, a variety of platforms have been used, including Zoom, Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, and Team Link. This study intends to find out if Nearpod, a website that promotes online learning, makes students more interactive when studying English online. At Van Lang University (VLU), in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, sixty-eight freshmen took part in this initiative for eleven weeks. A mixed-method technique was employed in conjunction with the Perception of Online Interaction Scale and open-ended questions as the two data-gathering tools. The findings reveal thatearpod encourages interaction in online English learning. The findings have made a big difference in making virtual study easier, which is essential in the dangerous infection of the Covid-19 virus.
