INTEGRATING A DIGITAL WALL INTO THE GENRE-BASED APPROACH IN THE EFL CLASSROOM

Mike Okmawati, Yuli Tiarina

Abstract


Abstract:It has been noted that using a genre-based approach in the classroom helps developing the writing abilities of students. However, as technology has advanced, the teacher and students can use technology as a tool to accomplish learning objectives. This study aims to look at the re-contextualization of the genre-based approach incorporating the use of a digital wall in classroom activities. The research method applied is qualitative and primarily phenomenological, focusing on the teachers` experiences using technology integrating a genre-based approach. The findings of this study show that the teachers had successfully carried out the stages of genre-based approach integrated with technological tools. The use of a digital wall in writing instruction can help students gain basic information about selecting texts within a particular genre and increase their ability to write creatively. Therefore, integrating a digital wall and the genre-based approach into writing instruction is suggested in order to improve students' writing skills.
