The present study explored using digital tools for teaching Tenses to English as Second Language learners (ESL). Nearpod and LearningApps.org tools create more interest in learning the Present tense in the English language. There is a gap in English grammar for Nearpod and LearningApps.org tools, which need a novel solution from the perspective of ESL learners. This study explores learners’ interest and enthusiasm towards Nearpod and LearningApps.org towards learning the Present tense. The methodology used is a quantitative study. 94 ESL learners, 17-20 years old, who speak five languages as their mother tongue, participated in this study. The results of this study are divided into three main divisions: 1. Students interested in learning through LearningApps.org and Nearpod, 2. How feasible the tools were for use by ESL learners, 3. ESL learner’s performance in the present tense through LearningApps.org and Nearpod. This study is significant for online tools, English as Second Language learners, and lesson planners as the input will provide an overview of the ESL learners’ needs in the present tense in the English language. Future work can be done in other subjects to enhance and engage their subject in learners’ perspectives.
