Abstract

The application of Interactive White Boards (IWBs) has been well-recognized in educational contexts, especially in language learning and teaching. The paper aimed to explore the perception of English as Second Language (ESL) learners with IWB activities regarding engagement. In the study, 50 freshmen experienced the implementation of IWB in a semester (14 weeks).

Regarding emotional engagement, learners also confirmed the enhancement in their enjoyment and interest.
