چکیده:
This study was an attempt to investigate whether using Inter-group peer online feedback through Edmodo has any significant impact on the EFL students` collaborative learning. To collect data to support or reject the hypotheses of the study, a total number of 40 Iranian intermediate male English Foreign Language (EFL) learners were selected based on their performance on Oxford Placement Test. Then, they were randomly assigned into two groups (20 as a control group and 20 as an experimental group). After that, the participants of both groups took a collaborative learning questionnaire pre-test adopted from Haythornthwaite’s (2000) study that aimed at investigating the learners’ perception of collaborative learning. Then, the treatment started. While the experimental group received its specific treatment, the control group experienced their conventional classroom. The experimental group was asked to practice writing through Edmodo twice a week for ten sessions. In the end, a collaborative learning questionnaire post-test was administered to both groups. The same as the pre-test, all the participants completed the questionnaire. Descriptive statistics of data provided information such as group’s means, standard deviations, normality, and frequency. Inferential statistics helped us to test the research hypothesis. For doing this, paired-samples t-test and independent-sample t-test were run to make comparisons between the experimental and the control groups’ test scores. The results showed that inter-group peer online feedback through Edmodo has a significant impact on Iranian EFL students` collaborative learning. In other words, the experimental group made a considerably higher advancement as compared to the control group in the post-test of collaborative learning.
