Education is no exception to this; it has not remained inflexible towards the profound changes taking place in other areas of knowledge. The impact of those changes on the educational areas is increasing and broadening. The first question that might be raised when considering whether to introduce computers into the writing classroom is: Do computers improve the writing of learners? The answer, surprisingly, is that we are not sure, but it is worth trying. In spite of the contradictory or inclusive research on the qualitative changes effected in writing, any word-processing system like the computer does improve students' writing at certain more specific levels. The present paper sheds light on the advantages of using computers in writing instructions. The paper presents the first-year Master students' case to show their attitudes and readiness to use ICT in EFL classes in general and writing in particular. It also stresses the aim of using new technologies in writing instructions to provide a variety of perspective writing research and to facilitate the discovery and critical analysis of the possibilities of teaching language skills. The last part of the paper identifies some of the educational uses of the Internet and how it can be applied in a writing classroom. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of IUP Journal of English Studies is the property of IUP Publications and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
