Abstract
The incorporation of technology within educational settings has been a longstanding objective of policymakers worldwide (Regan et al., 2019). Writing instruction is one of the areas where the incorporation of technology has the potential to increase student learning (Cutler & Graham, 2008; Warschauer, 2007. To extend this scholarship, this volume examines various facets of technology's contribution to writing instruction, offering insights, research findings, and practical applications. The volume presents an eclectic compilation of academic works authored by experts in the discipline, encompassing an extensive spectrum of subjects pertaining to technology and the pedagogy of writing. The literary works address the evolving demands and requirements of English language acquisition through the provision of knowledge regarding online writing pedagogical platforms and environments. In addition, the volume furnishes a comprehensive comprehension of writing practices that are adaptive to the exigencies of teaching and acquiring writing skills in both regional and international educational settings.
