Abstract

The goal of our research is to offer EFL/ESL teachers effective tools which enable them to develop EFL/ESL reading materials cooperatively, using Facebook and Cloud storage network services. These tools are integrated into an MS Word platform: teachers can create reading materials effectively without needing to constantly switch between discrete software packages and MS Word, when developing content for students.
