The instruments for this study were a closed-ended questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. According to the data gathered from the questionnaires and interviews, the students in their writing class have positive attitudes toward Padlet. Padlet provides students with a fun and interesting learning environment while also improving their motivation, collaboration, language development, and lowering their learning anxiety. However, when using Padlet, two factors must be considered: a lack of interaction between teacher and students, and an unstable internet connection. Overall, Padlet contributes significantly as a tool in the EFL writing classroom.
