This study investigated the effect of using Google Classroom on Jordanian eleventh- grade EFL students’ productive skills and their attitudes toward it. The participants of the studywere 40 students from two sections of the eleventh-grade students from Al-Khansaa’ Secondary School in Sahab, Jordan. The experiment lasted for two months during the first semester of the academic year 2022/2023. They were already divided into two groups, an experimental group which consisted of 20 female students, and was taught the productive skills using Google Classroom, and a control group which consisted of 20 female students and was taught the productive skills using regular instruction. The study relied on the quasi-experimental approach. To accomplish the goal of the study, three instruments were used for data collection: a writing pre-test and post-test along with a speaking pre-test and post-test. Also, the questionnaire has been filled in by the experimental group. The results indicated that there were statistically significant differences at(α=0.05) between the experimental and control group students’ mean scores on the overall productive skills post-test in favor of the students in the experimental group who were taught by using Google Classroom. The results also indicated that the students in the experimental group had positive attitudes toward using Google Classroom in teaching productive skills. Therefore, Google Classroom was recommended to be used as an effective teaching strategy that enhanced students’ abilities in speaking and writing skills. (Author’s abstract)
