Synopsis

This study attempted to investigate the effect of employing Virtual Live In-Class Teaching (VLIT) and Virtual Distance Teaching (VDT) techniques on EFL Learners' writing ability in comparison with Traditional Teaching (TT) technique. The statistical analysis of the results revealed that there was a statistically significant difference among the writing ability of those EFL learners who were involved in TT, VLIT, and VDT. Further analysis indicated that there was a statistically significant difference among the writing gain scores of the learners in the three groups. In sum, the findings revealed the positive and motivational effect of technology in general, and VLIT and VDT in particular, on EFL learners' writing ability.
