One of the most frequently-used platforms during the pandemic was Google Classroom. Nowadays, many schools have transformed back to face-to-face mode of teaching and learning in combination with online learning. This research aimed to probe students’ perceptions on the use of Google Classroom as an online platform for blended learning in the teaching and learning. It involved 25 English as foreign language (EFL) students of a public university in Malang City, East Java, Indonesia. They attended Essay Writing course in blended learning, combining face-to-face session and the use of Google Classroom as the virtual classroom. After six consecutive sessions, they were asked to complete a Likert-scale questionnaire. The findings showed that the students had positive perceptions on the teaching and learning to write essays conducted in blended learning by using Google Classroom. Due to the students’ positive responses in terms of meaningfulness, engagement, and preference, it is suggested that Google Classroom be used as an alternative platform in blended learning to enhance students’ writing ability in the contemporary educational context.]]>
