Abstract
Technology's substantial advancement has improved teachers' ability to instruct students. Technology needs to be used in the classroom by teachers. The goal of this study is to describe internet technology's role in helping B1 level students develop their writing skills, including its advantages and disadvantages. To gather information, semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation are used. According to research, teachers helped pupils improve their writing skills by using technology. Students' participation in the learning process is a strength of using internet technology. In the meanwhile, the application's flaws become its error system and automatic grammar correction. In general, technology can be used to help students become more motivated and creative during the teaching-learning process, especially when it comes to improving their writing abilities.
