Abstract

Lack of exposure in language learning is commonly believed to result in low performance in real communication encounters. It is publicly acknowledged that graduates of high schools and universities in Indonesia are generally incompetent to handle even for survival communication purposes regardless years of studying the language, commonly termed as false beginners (Beare, 2017). The popularizing use of social edu-media has open up possibilities to provide engaging language exposure to boost the learners’ language performance. Edmodo, as one of social learning platform is believed to be able to cater the needs of the exposure. The research is aimed at investigating how much Edmodo-aided exposure can enhance students’ language performance at the end of the semester. Quantitative data were gathered from a sample of 74 students who completed a pre-test at the beginning and a post-test at the end of the semester. The result of the analyses showed that Edmodo-Aided Language exposure had significantly enhanced students’ language performance.
