Since technology plays an important role in the education sector, there is an increasing need to use technology tools in the English language teaching and learning environment. Among those, Padlet is considered a suitable and effective web-based technology tool that helps English language teachers apply inovative English teaching methods to enhance students' collaborative learning ability. The purpose of this study is to investigate students' perspectives about teachers' use of the Padlet tool in English classes. In this study, a total of 36 police students from the full-time major in economic crime prevention took part. Survey questionnaires and interviews were used to collect data on students' perspectives and comments about teachers' use of Padlet as a tool for teaching and learning English to increase students’ collaboration. The results show that the students have shown positive views and reactions to the lecturer's use of Padlet and a desire to use the Padlet tool in the next modules, because it has motivated them to participate in learning and practicing English in class, encouraging interaction between students and lecturer, and enhancing their ability to collaborate in learning and practicing their language skills.
