An Overview of the Impact of Wikis on the Writing Performance of Foreign Language Students

In this study, we reviewed the research conducted by some researchers and in order to strengthen the writing skills of language learners and create motivation and diversity in teaching, we use a new and practical method in the field of language teaching. Learners become fully acquainted with the tools of technology and use these tools to enhance and improve their learning and reach a degree of empowerment to become independent and less dependent on the teacher. Based on these researches, data were collected and analyzed using quantitative and qualitative techniques. The purpose of these analyzes and surveys is primarily to determine whether students' writing skills will improve through wikis if they use collaborative learning strategies in the digital context. Findings show that learners enthusiastically use these tools to join an online community and are generally more motivated than other educational methods, and in addition to maximizing writing opportunities, they use their social skills to develop cooperation with each other. The results also show that wikis offer many benefits to learners in developing and strengthening writing skills.
