The findings obtained found various advantages of using the platform in the ELT class. The platform in this case succeeded in creating student interest in learning so that in the process it contributed to improving the technological and pedagogical aspects, especially in ELT. Further, increasing platform, particularly zoom which is equipped with a forum for discussion of its users, including teleconferencing facilities fulfilled the requests of blended learning.
