Khalil M. Zeiadee , 2018 , ‘EFL Students’ Perceptions towards Using Google Docs and Google
Classroom as Online Collaborative Tools in Learning Grammar’, Applied Linguisics Research
Journal, 2(2), 41-61.

In this study, Zeiadee (2018) Did analysed perception about learning grammar by using Google
application as platform.Teaching English as a foreign language, numerous Palestinian institutions
rely on traditional approaches towards grammar. Grammatical rules are taught to students directly
from the textbook and in return, students do an activities as archievment of understanding. With lack
of exposure of technology learning tool and classroom, the present study is an attempt to elicit
students’ responses prior to using Google Docs and Google Classroom in their grammar course and
finding out the most effective way building a collaborative learning environment and stick to the
rules of a flipped classroom. Data was elicited from six EFL university students taking a Grammar
course at Palestine Ahliya University in Bethlehem via questionnaires and interview. According to the
students, Google Applications help establish a collaborative learning environment since they
support by-direct interactions system and the majority of the participants prefer using such
applications for future courses given that flexibility to teacher with easy access. As conclusion
applying the flipped classroom approach in the teaching and learning of English grammar with the
aid of technological platforms can pave the road for students to improve their grammar skills.
Similarly, they have endless opportunities to convert their passive knowledge of the rules of
grammar into active use during class discussions. Means that, using Google applications as an
alternative way to teaching and learning grammar, the students were able to learn collaboratively and
take teacher written result about their grammar skills. Not to mention, the majority of the students
enjoyed the method using Google application. By that mean, teacher also can learn technology with
this new method and increasing positivity on technology on present day. Therefore it is safe to say
that teacherd can now be at ease with the effects .
