Abstract

The use of technology in education has grown crucial in today's classrooms all over the world. For a long time, technology has been a crucial tool for enhancing language learners' reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. Thanks to technology, writing has become one of the most supported abilities. For learners, learning how to write paragraphs or essays is a crucial ability. The objectives of this experimental study were to: 1) assess the effectiveness of instructional design writing in enhancing ESL learners' writing abilities, 2) investigate students' satisfaction and motivation with instructional design writing, and 3) investigate students' autonomy following the completion of the instructional design writing course.

31 English literature undergraduate students participated in this study. The instruments used to acquire pertinent data were lesson plans, grammar and writing tasks, learner perception questionnaires, pre- and post-tests. The data was evaluated, and the results showed that the learners' writing achievement level was much greater after taking the course. The post-test scores of the students improved over the pre-test results. According to the findings, the students' motivation and level of satisfaction with the instructional design writing course were quite high. The results of this course also showed that the students' writing abilities might be enhanced. Suggestions are made and given in terms of the need for further study and practical use in the future.

Keywords: Instructional Design Writing, Writing ability, motivation

Introduction

Modern technology is becoming a more significant part of daily life in the twenty-first century, and it has drastically altered how educational institutions operate and how its staff, including teachers and students, live. Technology is constantly used by people all around the world. As technology is a tool that can enhance many other facets of life, including business, the economics, education and health, they can easily access through social networks. In terms of education, the use of technological resources, tailored learning materials, and chances for advanced learning benefits both teachers and students. The internet enables the students to communicate, practise their lessons, and share fresh information.

Today's educational technology gives many options to change global education at all grade levels and to access global learning materials. So, in terms of education, studying English and using technology are essential for all students and are a fundamental prerequisite for a positive learning environment. Technology in education has been included into the educational system since using it in the classroom has helped students study more effectively while also developing their multitasking abilities.

Technology in the classroom can offer digital communication, flexible scheduling, increased freedom of choice, and relevant materials (Harris, Yunus and Badusah, 2017). Technology frequently raises questions, makes it easier for students to understand concepts, and elevates its significance in education. Technology can give students and teachers more resources to use when learning English as a second language or as a foreign language, than it can help to improve learning outcomes. Technology, particularly social networking sites, makes teaching and learning easier. The use of technological tools and advances may cause academic personnel to lose sight of the fundamental pedagogical principles that guide extensive language instruction.
