Main Article Content
Abstract
The aim of this experiment is to investigate the effect of Google classroom platform on the university students` writing performance, the sample of the study consists of (60) Iraqi EFL university students studying English in the college of education for human sciences/ Wasit university.
The sample is organized into two groups , the control group and the experimental group ,(30) for each. The researcher adopted the experimental design in applying the Google classroom on the sample of the study. However , the experimental group is taught by using Google classroom platform while the controlled group is taught by using the conventional process, throughout the second course of the academic year 2018-2019 (March - April 2019) to share course materials.
The experiment has been applied on second year university level students at the Department of English/ College of Education for Human sciences/University of Wasit.
The results revealed that there are obvious statistical differences in the findings of this study between the experimental and controlled group through the teaching students writing composition by applying Google classroom platform on the sample of the study. The results have shown that such a platform supports university teachers to prepare and announce the readiness of their lectures to be read and visited by students at any time. Google Classroom platform highly fits the new semester policy to be adopted by the ministry of higher education soon. Further, such a platform highly suits the situations whereby students cannot access the classes face-to-face due to lack of security issues, or natural disasters, etc. Students writing performance are highly enhanced through applying this platform.
