Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
The paper aims at analysing the possibility of using technology in improving the writing skill of th-e stu dents at the tertiary level. In this era of international communication and advanced technology, there is a need for engineers and technical professionals to convey technical information in English for various purposes. T-here fore, besides learning English as an international language, engineering students need to be equipped with adequate technical writing ability to effectively communicate technical information without any ambiguity. This advancement in communication calls for a change in the teaching modes as well. For the enhancement of quality in higher education, a totally novel methodology, which is modern and effective, will gain an enormous response. While considering these- de mands, using Computer, Multimedia Technologies and Blogs seem to be the best way, which would definitely promote qualitative interaction amongst students, teachers and computer software. As technology and computers are becoming integral parts of our life and education, these principles would make it possible to learn a foreign language in a realistic communicative setting. Teachers, as Internet users need to attain a minimum level of technical knowledge and skills and must act as learners as well as professionals. This paper focuses on the different methodologies in improving the writing skill of the students at the university level, highlighting the possibility and the employability of technology in the -class room.
