Technology-enhanced writing for ESP
Technology-enhanced writing for ESP

Summary/Abstract: Writing is one of the most difficult to form and consolidate basic skills in ESP as it requires extensive practice, commitment and determination for passing through successive refinements, as well as accuracy of expression that is more stringent a condition in the case of the written word. However, if students may be more reluctant to approach class writing in paper-and-pencil form rather than speaking, when the former is presented through technology-supported writing tools, it can become a motivating, engaging and successful activity. The current paper will showcase technology-enhanced writing activities carried out with students of medicine, tourism and economics, demonstrating the hypothesis that if ESP students are presented with the right tool, they can become rich, independent and creative authors.
