Description
Writing is one of the most important skills in the English language, allowing students to express their thoughts in a clear and consistent way. On the other hand, intermediate students are struggling to produce well-structured pieces of writing since they lack vocabulary, grammar, sentence structures, and creativity. Traditional writing not only consumes time and material and frequently fails to foster students’ engagement in the writing process, but it also leads to disengagement and dissatisfaction in the writing classroom. This presentation explores how replacing paper-based writing methods with Google Docs can transform the teaching and learning of writing. Through this presentation, instructors will be able to help students overcome their writing challenges and promote critical thinking, creativity, digital literacy, and sustainability. On top of that, teachers will discover the pragmatic ways of implementing the best uses of digital tools through minimizing the utilization of printed resources and aiding the creation of an eco-friendly classroom environment. The workshop is very significant for EFL teachers and lecturers who are eager to integrate technology in the classroom to enhance learner involvement, leverage writing outcomes, and develop eco-friendly teaching strategies. Google Docs enables teachers to accelerate feedback, support differentiated instruction, and offer meaningful peer work. Attendees will leave with actionable plans consistent with the conference focus on cooperation, innovation, change, and sustainability in education; long-term, collaborative, and reflective learning; all of which are key characteristics of sustainable education.
