This study highlighted undergraduates’ perceptions on using Google Forms as an instructional tool in E-ESL classrooms. It implemented a quantitative approach whereby undergraduates filled in an e-questionnaire which consisted of open and closed-ended questions upon completing six grammar lessons of Integrated Language Skills 1 (ELC121) which was administered with Google Forms. The questionnaire received 97 responses from undergraduates of four first year Diploma programs (two Social Sciences and two Applied Sciences). The purpose of this study was to explore undergraduates’ perceptions of using Google Forms as an instructional tool to teach grammar in E-ESL classrooms. It also aimed to analyze their opinions on the positive aspects of the instructional tool and identify their opinions on aspects which needed to be improved. Results showed that undergraduates have positive perceptions on using Google Forms as a grammar teaching tool in E-ESL classrooms. In terms of the positive aspects of Google Forms lessons, most of them found the lessons to be fun (53%) and new to them (23.4%).
