According to the dictionary definitions
Wiki is ‘a website or database developed collaboratively by a
community of users, allowing any user to add and edit content’ and the wiki
word is derived from the Hawaiian Phrase ‘wiki wiki’ which means quick.

Wiki can be a great source for language classrooms. It
is used both for sourcing knowledge or modifying an information
collaboratively. For example, students as a class can crate a mini-encyclopaedia
by researching and posting about one topic assigned. They can also create
stories individually or in groups or create a dictionary.
It is also a good way for book projects. Students have
a chance to write reviews or edit or delete anything they wish on a page
created by the teacher. Here is the screenshot of my first wiki! I wrote a
review about one of my favourite books, 1984 and created a wiki entry on the
wiki page created by our instructor. Enjoy reading!
