This study finds out the effects of using WhatsApp as a teaching method to
improve writing, speaking, listening, reading and critical skills of postgraduate
students of Karachi, Pakistan. An experimental research approach was
employed in which ‘within-subject experimental design’ was selected. n = 25
female students enrolled in the first semester of master’s in mass
communication from media studies department of a private university were
selected through purposive sampling. Participants were first taught for two
hours in the classroom followed by a one-hour face-to-face learning session
entitled traditional Chaupal. The same students were taught during the second
semester in the classroom for two hours along with an additional hour of
learning session was given to them through the WhatsApp group with the
name of digital Chaupal. Data was collected through a test to evaluate their
writing, reading, listening, speaking and critical skills after both sessions.
Findings show that the students performed better after using WhatsApp as a
teaching method. Teaching through WhatsApp becomes the best-preferred
teaching aid, which can be supplemented by classroom learning for better
results.
