Abstract

The incorporation of technology in English learning has become the norm in recent decades. While research on the effectiveness of technology in education is abundant, few studies mention the application of PearDeck in writing education in Vietnam. This research examines the perceptions of PearDeck’s effectiveness in teaching writing skills to English major students at Hanoi University of Industry (HaUI). This study collected data from 20 English-majored students at HaUI. The study adopts a mixed-methods approach to examine the impact of Pear Deck on various aspects of writing proficiency. Quantitative analysis involves questionnaires to measure changes in writing performance, while qualitative data is collected through interviews to gather insights into student experiences. The results show a favorable attitude towards PearDeck and its potential to facilitate writing instructions, contributing to the growing body of literature on technology-enhanced classroom instruction.
