RESUMEN: El artículo tenía como objetivo investigar el efecto del uso de material de curso en línea sobre la capacidad de escritura de los estudiantes de inglés como lengua extranjera. El enfoque del estudio es principalmente el descubrimiento de actitudes de escritura y problemas de aprendizaje entre los estudiantes.

Luego, en la fase de tratamiento de cuatro semanas, se requirieron estudiantes para realizar ambas tareas en el aula. Las principales herramientas de investigación utilizadas en el estudio son los cuestionarios de encuestas a los estudiantes y las preguntas de las entrevistas. 20 estudiantes de escuelas de inglés en una clase de recién llegados estaban interesados en el estudio. Los hallazgos significativos muestran que los subestudios hicieron un cambio notable en el uso equivalente de palabras en las pruebas controladas y aún así mantuvieron ese aprendizaje dos meses después del final de las unidades de aprendizaje en la web. De la correlación de los trabajos pre-test y post-test se concluyó que los estudiantes aumentaron su calidad general de composición y ejecución en el uso de palabras descriptivas sinónimos. Los estudiantes pudieron impulsar algunos ejemplos para apuntar a expresiones equivalentes de 25 palabras con diversos grados de rendimiento.
