Teachers have used diverse platforms in language teaching classrooms along with the growth of technology. Each platform delivers distinctive pedagogical affordances, assisting instructional processes while enhancing curricular efficiency and accessibility. In this study, the researcher utilized Google Workspace as a teaching platform in the language classroom to facilitate the teaching process, encompassing lectures, class notes, interaction, learning collaboration, learning resource sharing, in-class exercises, assessments, class management, and surveys or data collection. This study employed an action research, leaning on the researcher's classroom observations, field notes, and student interviews as key data sources. Results indicate that every student already has a Google account and regularly uses it, which made it easier to adopt Google Workspace during class. Moreover, Google Workspace is moderately easy to use, even for those with limited technical skills. Google Workspace can also be used simultaneously in physical classrooms and online, providing convenience for both in-class and online students. Furthermore, all data is stored in Google Drive, allowing students to review material at any time. Moreover, Google Meet improves interaction between the teacher and students, as well as among students themselves, while Google Docs and Google Spreadsheets enable collaborative learning among students.
