Authors : Haddad Salima . Grine Nadia .
Abstract
Recently, we have witnessed an innovation due to technology which has not only changed society life mode but has offered new dimensions for language teaching and learning models as well. The Integration of Computer Mediation Communication (CMC) in foreign language contexts is becoming a new wave that is noticeably added to the longtime practice of using pen and paper. Students, now, are increasingly interested to such kinds of technology as: computing, mobile, and others. Therefore, the education visions need to be aware of the necessity to incorporate technology in language education. The aim of this paper is to explore the effectiveness of Computer Mediation Communication as a contemporary medium (CMC) in promoting the students’ writing skill in the foreign language classes. The participants of the study were one hundred first year students of English at the department of English language and literature at Mohammed Lamine Debaghine Setif -2-University. The participants were asked to answer the questionnaire prepared by the researcher to explore whether the use of (CMC) may signify a change in EFL students writing performance. Therefore, this paper reports on an explanatory study of attitudes of students towards CMC as an instructional method to enhance their writing ability. The study’s findings further revealed that CMC has a strong potential to foster EFL students writing performance and promote motivation.
