Abstract

The purpose of the study is to identify students’ perceptions toward the use of Edmodo in EFL learning. This research used quantitative method in a form of survey study. There were 85 respondents in this research. They were final year students of English Language Education Department in a private university. The data were collected by using a questionnaire, developed by Fatimah Al-Kathiri (2014). The instrument consisted of 19 items related to students’ perception toward using Edmodo in asynchronous learning. After analysing the data by using SPSS and Microsoft Excel, the findings show that students have positive perspective toward Edmodo because Edmodo brings benefits in students’ learning. However, Edmodo still has limitations that cannot accommodate their language learning. It implies that Edmodo can be one of potential media to support online activities, but instructors need to support Edmodo with another media to complete students’ learning experiences.
