Abstract :This study explores the incorporation of Web 2.0 tools into language education, focusing on their impact on language skills, pedagogical practices, and teaching methodologies. Using a PRISMA-based systematic review design, data were collected from 14 dissertations choosen from Yöktez database from Türkiye and analyzed using thematic coding facilitated by ChatGPT. The content analysis highlights the dominance of Collaborative Learning Methods, emphasizing group-based, interactive approaches, while other methodologies such as Project-Based Learning and Telecollaboration were underutilized. Formative assessment practices were prevalent, reflecting a shift towards continuous feedback and learner-centered environments. The findings reveal that Web 2.0 tools significantly enhance vocabulary acquisition, writing skills, and collaboration, with tools like Quizlet, Google Docs, and Padlet supporting gamified, interactive, and peer-feedback-driven learning. Despite their success in fostering creativity and engagement, their role in developing critical thinking skills remains limited. Technical challenges and the need for teacher training were identified as barriers to effective integration. Data were analyzed qualitatively using thematic coding to identify patterns in teaching methods, tools, and outcomes. The results underscore the transformative potential of Web 2.0 tools in creating dynamic, student-centered learning environments while highlighting the importance of combining these tools with diverse methodologies for a more balanced approach. Future research should explore the utilization of Web 2.0 tools for fostering critical thinking and their application in various educational contexts, such as blended learning.
