The use of modern technology in teaching English is broadly understood to
systems, and strategies which are directly relevant to English language teaching
and lead to the achievement of the desired goals (Alqahtani, 2019). The
relationship between technology and education has been well established. The
relationship (Bal, 2018). Consequently, learners can only learn English through

have just opened Wattpad will be welcomed with the option to register a new
account. The choices are Facebook and Gmail, which one is free?
After logging into their respective accounts, including me. I was treated again
with an interface with an orange and white background. In the Home panel, you
can find two main tab menus namely Browse and Recommended. The Browse
collection of currently popular stories bundled in tags, such as Feature Lists and
stories that you can swipe as many times as possible until you find an interesting
story.
At the bottom there are five main buttons, I start from the far left of the Home
button marked with a home-shaped icon. In the second line there is a book
arrangement icon that contains my reading list starting from the titles of the
stories I'm reading, archives and reading lists as well as playlists in the audio
player application.
In the third menu - in the middle - a pencil icon appears to turn out to be a
tool of war for the writers at Wattpad. So in this menu, the authors submit their
work starting from the cover, title, description and content of the story per
chapter. All prepared with systemation and easy by Wattpad. If there are
improvements, the authors also easily make revisions through the same platform.
Continue to the next menu, where you can see a large menu including News
Feed, Notification and Message. News Feed contains updates from friends such as
new story recommendations, interesting stories and others. The Notifications tab
contains a list of notifications that are more personal or related to your story,
readings or writing that you send. While the Message tab works just like the SMS
information, for example your name, username, reading list number, followers,
activities and settings for changing email, language, notifications and others.
Wattpad feature
Most of the Wattpad features are actually already included in the Interface
explanation above. But I will add some other additional features that can also be
found in it.
Letter Format
Wattpad developers seem to know very well that not all users are
comfortable reading novels through the relatively small smartphone screen. For
this reason, they provide special tools to change the size and type of fonts and
comments, status bar, reading mode and also the screen brightness level (in

Offline mode
This feature is certainly very useful for Wattpad users, because with it they
don't have to burn data quota to read their favorite readings. Most of the readings
on Wattpad have a number of chapters that are not small, so it takes quite a long
time to read it through to completion. Users can download their favorite novels
But not all the readings on Wattpad can be read offline. The main
3. Evaluation
Wattpad is a very interesting digital environment with a huge amount of
potential for schools and learning (Scolari, 2018). First of all, Wattpad provides
the opportunity to refect on the value of reading for young people, in a historical
moment in which much is said about the death of reading. For these reasons, the
main potential of the platform from the educational point of view is, in our
opinion, that Wattpad brings students closer to the world of reading and writing
