This study aims to develop Google Form–based English grammar exercises for EFL students and to evaluate their validity and practicality as learning media. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, which includes analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The participants were 15 first-semester students of the English Education Study Program at Universitas Nias during the even semester of the 2024/2025 academic year. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test scores as well as a student response questionnaire. The results revealed an improvement in students’ grammar achievement after using the Google Form–based exercises, with the mean score increasing from 62.40 in the pre-test to 78.60 in the post-test. The most significant improvements were found in subject–verb agreement and basic tense usage. In addition, students showed positive responses toward the use of Google Forms, particularly in terms of accessibility, clarity of exercises, and the usefulness of instant feedback. These findings indicate that Google Form–based grammar exercises are feasible and effective as instructional media and offer a practical, accessible, and low-cost solution for enhancing grammar learning in EFL higher education contexts.
