Abstract: |
This mixed-methods study examines the effectiveness of the Online Tutoring Multimedia Messaging Services System (OT2MS) in enhancing the writing skills of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Traditional classroom teaching methods can be challenging for EFL learners to achieve proficiency in writing, leading some teachers to adopt unconventional methods. The study’s general objective is to assess the pedagogical value of the OT2MS approach and report on its effectiveness in developing EFL learners’ writing skills. The study aims to assess the influence of the OT2MS method on learners’ interest in learning English, assess the effectiveness of the OT2MS process in improving learners’ writing skills, identify any difficulties encountered in using the OT2MS approach, and provide recommendations for overcoming those difficulties. The study uses purposive sampling to select 137 learners and 3 EFL instructors with access to the OT2MS technique. Data collection methods include questionnaires, focus groups, and observation. Quantitative data analysis is performed using SPSS 26, one-way ANOVA, t-tests, and qualitative data analysis using Creswell and Poth’s (2018) inductive 5-step spiral analysis method. The findings indicate that the OT2MS approach effectively develops learners’ interest in learning English and improves their writing skills. However, the study identifies difficulties the system can present, such as technical issues and a lack of personal interaction with the instructor. The study recommends that EFL instructors integrate the OT2MS technique into their teaching strategies, provide personalized feedback and incorporate interactive activities to enhance its effectiveness. |
