The Influence of ICT in the Development of Writing Skills through an Online Platform

The purpose of this research was to determine the extent to which the support of an online educational platform benefited students’ writing skill while carrying out the writing process wheel. The project involved a diagnostic stage carried out for one month, six workshops combining the WPW and a commercial educational platform to improve the writing skill, and an evaluation stage within an Action Research cycle in a pre-intermediate EFL course at Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira. The findings report the usefulness of ICT in the EFL classroom as a means of improving students’ writing performance, vocabulary, attitudes, and confidence and so improving their language performance.
