The Effect of Using Padlet as a Vocabulary Knowledge Enhancement Application on Saudi EFL Female Learners, and their Attitudes toward its Value in Learning

“…The results obviously showed that Padlet was an effective tool for learning vocabulary within the CLT environment and learner-centered settings, which is consistent with the findings of previous studies in this topic such as Lestari and Kurniawan (2018), Algraini (2014) Saepuloh and Salsabila (2020). In addition other researchers (e.g., Awaludin & Karim, 2017;Haris et al, 2017;Toti, 2018) also described it as an effective tool with a significant role in improving students' language skills as well as contributing to their positive attitudes.…”

“…Due to these benefits, numerous surveys of attitudes toward Padlet have found positive views of the application, and researchers found that utilizing Padlet in the sphere of education increases student interest and motivation (Awaludin & Karim, 2017;Haris, Yunus, & Badusah, 2017;Saepuloh & Salsabila, 2020;Toti, 2018). Lestari and Kurniawan (2018) conducted a study Arab World English Journal www.awej.org ISSN: 2229-9327 363 that aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Padlet with regard to improving students' mastery over writing; the researchers designed their experiment in two phases and each phase included observations of student "planning, implementing, observing, and reflecting."

Perception and Acceptance of Padlet as a Microblogging Platform for Writing Skills

“…This provides an opportunity for lecturers and students to use Padlet as a means of learning and communication academically, in this case, as a microblogging platform. Previous research has shown that the use of Padlet can increase student grades, foster interest in learning [7], motivate students to address the subject effectively and to engage in the completion of classes [12], and improve student writing achievement [13]. In addition, students give a positive attitude towards Padlet as a medium of learning [14].…”
