teachers and students. The survey evaluates the respondent’s
perception on the potential of online bulletin platforms as a
method of teaching. The research findings found that Padlet is the
most preferred online bulletin platforms. In addition, it revealed
that the platforms are effective in boosting one’s speaking skill,
raising the confidence level among introverted students,
organising and accessing teaching materials, assessing students’
work, and lastly, encouraging collaborative learning. In
conclusion, online bulletin platforms are the most preferred elearning tool used by teachers and students to aid the language
acquisition process. The implementation of online bulletin
platforms as the main method of teaching a language in
