IMPACTS OF GOOGLE FORMS ON ENGLISH - MAJORED STUDENTS’ LISTENING SKILL

Abstract

The study aims at investigating the influence of Google Forms on English majored students’ listening skill at the School of Foreign Languages, Thai Nguyen University. There was a controlled group in which the students were given printed homework and an experimental group in which the participants were sent listening homework designed on Google Forms. Hence, the students in the controlled group could not get instantaneous feedback from their teachers while the students in the experimental group could check their answers and tapescript after their submission. The research employed tests and a questionnaire for the data collection. The study shows that the students in the experimental group got more success in listening tests than the students in the controlled group. Additionally, the students found doing homework on Google Forms motivating. Hence, they looked forward to listening assignments in other listening courses. The study can bring teachers who are in charge of listening lessons some ideas for listening homework management.
