This practically-oriented presentation will describe the use of spreadsheets for speaking and writing classes. Throughout the presentation, we will demonstrate and discuss the facility and effectiveness of using spreadsheets in language classes to foster (1) language learning (2) ICT user skills, (3) employability skills, (4) critical thinking skills, and (5) active learning. Multiple examples will be demonstrated for how to: (1) transmit feedback to learners, (2) compile grades based on class and homework activities, and (3) post them in an any-time-anywhere viewable space where students can submit or amend assignments. Since Google (and MS) Forms are often used with spreadsheets, peripheral explanations will be provided where needed about effective forms and spreadsheets integration.

Data based on the teacher’s field notes, descriptive statistical results from a ten item questionnaire (n = 436) and open-end comments solicited from student participants will be presented.
