Abstract
This study aims to answer the research question: What are the issues of EFL students towards the use of Multimedia Computer-assisted English Writing (MCEW)? MCEW course activities; a questionnaire; and individual semi-structured interviews were utilised. The findings revealed that there were 3 issues towards learning with MCEW: 1) preference, 2) benefits, and 3) constraints of MCEW functions. 99.5% of students preferred using MCEW because it is enhances more communication and collaborative writing. Using MCEW was not preferred because it is burdensome, and online system failures caused a lot of anxiety. 90% of the students thought MCEW was helpful in improving their English writing skills, whereas the other 10% thought it was not. Issues on constraints functions of MCEW reveals that there should be a course and technological resolutions. Implementing MCEW into the English curriculum, a Facebook group, support from authorities, a teaching forum, and teacher training are recommended.
