Abstract
Technology has improved rapidly, and new communication technologies emerge every day. Those technologies can be used in the educational field, including language education. Throughout history, language teaching has been assisted with various technological tools such as tape recorders, overhead projectors, DVD players, computers, smartboards, etc. If appropriately used, technology is a great help to develop language skills. The use of technology in language education can bring authenticity and fun to the classroom and can have a better impact on the learning/teaching process, especially when we think of Gen Z. This generation is known to be digital natives and uses any technological tools efficiently and effectively. They prefer to communicate by sending emails or using social media rather than face-to-face interaction. Therefore, it seems to be a need for language teachers to adopt a new perspective in language teaching. This chapter sheds light on the effectiveness of mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) in improving language learners’ writing skills. MALL provides invaluable sources to practice writing in and outside the classroom. After reviewing some studies investigating the impact of mobile technologies on language learning, randomly selected writing applications are introduced, and a sample activity for classroom practice is suggested.
