The aim of this article is to provide information that consists of using Edmodo in planning English learning. The method used in writing this paper was literature-based and based on collecting data and information that related to Edmodo as a medium for learning English. The results indicate that there are many advantages to using Edmodo in planning English learning. As for the teacher, Edmodo promotes teachers to meet the needs of different students, supports a sense of community among students, makes them feel respected and important, and provides three useful standards, namely usability, accessibility, and compatibility.
