How can technology be utilised to support and motivate learners to develop and improve their writing? In this webinar we identify ways to encourage learners to write, provide ideas on approaches that can support them and show examples of digital tools that will make this engaging and easy. We also address ways of providing constructive feedback on student writing using a range of digital tools and give suggestions for how teachers can use these tools to help learners prepare for the writing sections of Cambridge exams.
