This poster presentation explores how Padlet was integrated into several Freshman and Sophomore English courses at a Japanese university to enhance student communication and collaboration. Padlet is a web-based collaborative platform that enables the creation, sharing, and organising of user-based content—including text, images, videos, documents, and links—in real-time or asynchronously. Students participated in activities, such as posting weekly responses to course topics, giving peer feedback, writing reflections, reviewing vocabulary, and asking questions for clarification. These tasks encouraged students to interact, share ideas, and build communication skills through both real-time and asynchronous exchanges. Using the paid version of Padlet, the presentation will discuss an overview of how Padlet was implemented, showing specific class applications and how it contributed to student participation, assessment, and project work while supporting class objectives and learning goals both in and outside the classroom. Furthermore, any challenges and limitations encountered will be discussed. By sharing these experiences, the presentation offers practical suggestions for using collaborative digital tools to increase engagement, foster reflection, and support active learning in language classrooms.
