Abstract

The present article aims to investigate the role that Web 2.0 tools can play in enhancing the productive and receptive language skills of students studying English as a foreign language. Nowadays, Web 2.0 is becoming the preferred environment for communication, collaboration, and sharing information, especially among the younger population. Web 2.0 tools are handy, simpler to deploy, free or inexpensive, and ready to be used in different contexts. This prompts many educators worldwide to explore possible ways to apply these technologies in the educational field. This study adopts a quantitative research approach using a questionnaire for data collection. The questionnaire is designed to explore teachers' perceptions of using Web 2.0 applications as a method for teaching English as a foreign language. The results indicate a high self-perception among teachers regarding Web 2.0 and its use for improving students' language skills, attributed to their awareness of the importance and benefits of Web 2.0 in education. Key words: Web technology, language skill, digital tool, teaching, educator.
