Fifteen EFL students experienced problems in pouring their ideas in spoken and written language to fix them, so they joined the treatment class. To get started the teacher created a WhatsApp group application to conduct the teaching–learning process. The materials used in the lesson are lexico-grammar, communicative grammar, noticing, and retelling. The resource of the lesson is taken from podcasts, YouTube, and pictures. All the materials are presented in each unit. It started with lexico-grammar using the grammar-translation method. To emphasize the implementation of the discussed grammar in the text, the teacher invited the students to notice the text from the podcast. Moreover, the teacher asked them to listen to the recording and translate the text to strengthen their vocabulary building. To meet the goal of learning a language, the students described the pictures based on the discussed grammar. Using WhatsApp application eases the students to get the assessment, and feedback from the teacher. The information gathered during the teaching and learning process was recorded to conduct a qualitative analysis. The analysis stated that implementing communicative grammar learning through a WhatsApp group application helps students to develop their ability to deliver ideas in spoken and written language.
