The impact of implementing strategies to teach writing skills in higher education

ABSTRACT

The English language has a crucial part in Ecuadorian students who daily have to deal with the four basic language skills in their English lessons, however, among the four skills, writing is considered as the most problematic to fulfill. Learners from higher education have shared their opinions and suggestions on how they are able to master this productive skill in their lessons and writing tasks. This study shows the pros and cons of how writing in EFL has been taught and learned by a group of learners whose English levels vary from basic to intermediate. Furthermore, some of the difficulties this group of learners had to face during the COVID-19 pandemic while learning English and applying new technological tools in their lessons made their learning more arduous, especially during their writing classes.
