The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptions of learners regarding the use of WhatsApp as a tool for oral production in English as a L2. In order to achieve this goal, forty-six volunteer students from the courses of Information Technology, Agro-industry and Farming have participated in the research. The data were generated through the application of a questionnaire, in which there were two Likert Scale questions and an open question. The results show that the participants perceive that the use of WhatsApp was beneficial for their oral production in L2 and that the app should be adopted in English classes. Positive and negative aspects of the pedagogical intervention were also presented. We believe this study is relevant, because it regards learners’ perceptions about the use of WhatsApp, which can guarantee democratic access to digital technologies, creating a more egalitarian society.
