Enhancing Students’ Writing Skills through a Techno-Pedagogical Intervention

Abstract

Several academic institutions have favored email as a mode of communication since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this research was to see how effective the Operation EMAIL, a techno-pedagogical intervention in enhancing the email writing skills of first-year education students. The study employed a quasi-experimental research design utilizing pre-test and post-test and involving control and experimental groups. The online action program involved 13 participants from the experimental group and 13 participants from the control group. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data gathered in the study. The results revealed that the participants gained low scores in their pre-test. After the post-test, the participants under the control group only gained a little increase in their scores while the participants under the experimental group significantly gained higher scores. Finally, there is a significant difference in the post-test scores between the control and experimental group. In conclusion, the Operation EMAIL is effective in enhancing the email writing skills of the first-year education students.
