The effects of Google classroom-based digital classes on middle school students’ English listening ability

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Google Classroom-based digital classes on middle school students’ English listening ability. For the purpose of this study, the classes using traditional teaching methods were compared to Google Classroom-based digital classes at a middle school. For 74 students in the experimental group, digital classes were conducted using Google for Education apps in Google Classroom. For 71 students in the control group, traditional English classes were taught using paper worksheets. After carrying out experimental lessons during the course of a semester, and by analyzing pretest and posttest results of each group, this study compared the English listening ability of the experimental and control groups. To summarize the results of this study, it is effective in the improvement of middle school students’ English listening ability by exploring digital classes using Google Classroom. Therefore, teachers and schools should build wireless Internet classrooms and utilize a variety of digital tools in the classroom to equip students with future capabilities and to make learning more successful.
