This paper introduces Postermywall and presents three lesson plans that integrate the technology based on the relevant literature and the International Society for Technology in Education standards to support English language learning and practice students’ communication and creativity. Specifically designed for an English as a Foreign Language writing and speaking class, the lesson plans also hope to interest language teachers and educational practitioners looking for user-friendly technology to integrate into their lessons and ways to engage students in technology-based language learning activities. Recommendations to optimize the lesson plans are presented.
