Leveraging Padlet for Developing Writing Skills of
I Year Engineering Students
Dr. S. Latha Venkateswari
Abstract
Writing is the most important skill needed for engineering students as engineers have to communicate intricate technical information, deliver reports and proposals to clients and colleagues throughout their career. Effective writing skills nurture critical thinking and problem-solving acumen. Hence, language teachers play a vital role in equipping engineering students with this skill. Though second language learners face challenges in learning the nuances of English language, Padlet, an interactive and user-friendly platform, assists L2 learners in mastering this skill through collaborative approach, which motivates them to augment their learner autonomy and competence.
This paper explores the potential of Padlet in enhancing the writing proficiency of engineering students in the light of the theories that support the integration of Padlet and the methods through which teachers can create an interactive and effective learning atmosphere.
Keywords: Padlet, Collaborative learning, Second Language Learners (L2), Peer review and Feedback.
Introduction
Digital era has transformed the landscape of education through its plethora of digital tools, which enrich the learning experience of both teachers and students. One such tool is Padlet, which has the power to impart writing skills to L2 learners. Padlet, an online tool, helps users create virtual bulletin boards where they can share text, images, digital content, and beneficial web links (Erito, 2022). In fact, teachers can build a dynamic and interactive learning environment by incorporating Padlet into their teaching methodology. In turn, it makes learners enjoy a more engaging educational experience.
