This study aimed to check the effectiveness of wikis in terms of students’ learning outcomes in an Applied Linguistics II course for EFL college students as well as to investigate their attitudes towards the course content while elearning via the use of Wikis. The researcher employed an experimental pretest/posttest control group design to check the effects of using wikis on learning outcomes and the learners’ attitudes. Results showed that there existed statistically significant differences between the research groups, which mean the experimental group applying wikis performed better in the designated course than the control group. Additionally, when compared with the non-wiki group, the wiki group had a more favorable attitude towards the wikisbased course. The paper ends with implications for pedagogy and elearning environments. Finally, recommendations for further research are given.
