THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY FOR DEVELOPING ENGLISH WRITING SKILLS

Key words: writing, technology, methods, writing process, digital toolsAbstract
Abstract
In today's world, technology is crucial for education, particularly when it comes
to honing writing abilities. Lack of reading knowledge, grammar errors, and little
vocabulary make writing difficult for many students. Digital solutions that offer
immediate feedback and ideas include Grammarly, QuillBot, and ChatGPT. Platforms
like Padlet and Google Docs promote peer review and teamwork. Student engagement
is increased through blended learning, which blends traditional and online teaching
approaches. Students gain clarity and structure via the prewriting, drafting, revising,
and editing stages of the writing process. Teachers can improve the effectiveness and
accessibility of writing instruction for students by combining technology with
conventional teaching methods.
