| چکیده | ||
| Online collaborative writing is an effective method in higher education, fostering interaction and shared responsibility in academic writing. Despite the growing demand for research publications, doctoral students majoring in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) often struggle with writing research article abstracts due to challenges in organizing their content, developing their structure, and choosing the correct language. Grounded in Self-Determination Theory, which highlights fostering autonomy, competence, and relatedness and incorporating genre-based principles, the present study developed an online collaborative academic writing course designed to enhance abstract writing performance. This 10-session online intervention was run for 40 TEFL doctoral candidates using Adobe Connect for synchronous teaching and Google Docs for asynchronous tasks. Using a quantitative experimental design, the study employed t-tests to evaluate the effectiveness of the instructional course. The results revealed a statistically significant improvement in participants’ abstract writing performance following the intervention. These findings demonstrate the value of integrating technology-mediated writing instruction into teacher education and highlight the importance of fostering collaborative learning through digital platforms. Overall, the study provides practical insights for teacher trainers, professors, and researchers seeking to improve academic writing instruction in TEFL contexts. | ||
