Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to introduce a wiki as a communication tool for limited English proficiency (LEP) students in a way that helps them to learn English. The study focuses on demonstrating an example of how a wiki can be used to provide new learning experiences to promote LEP students to learn. This paper will illustrate how a wiki, together with classroom instruction, was used to facilitate English learning in an English as a Second Language (ESL) classroom. It also discusses how the wiki provided meaningful classroom interaction, opportunities for feedback, connections between learners and content, and an enjoyable learning experience.
