Sat, Apr 29, 16:00-16:50 Asia/Seoul
Teaching writing has been an issue in EFL classroom as teachers need to spend time providing feedback on students’ work. Also, it lacks interaction between students and students. The advancement of technology, nonetheless, has brought about new approaches in teaching writing. It particularly makes learning outside the classroom not just achievable, but also interactive and fun. This study explores how Google Classroom can be used as an online learning platform to tackle students’ problems with writing skills. There are three significant stages in this study including the first observing stage which students are encouraged to participate in online discussions without worrying of writing and grammatical errors. Stage two, feedback stage, involves the teacher providing feedback and correction on the work that the students produce in stage one. In the last stage, the students practice their writing through using the target language points learnt inside the class to communicate and discuss with their peers. The last part of the presentation will discuss practical tips and activities in Google Classroom which teachers can implement in their own class to boost students’ writing.
