Abstract
This article synthesizes concepts and research related to the use of educational technology in developing academic English writing skills. Academic writing in English is an essential competence for scholarly communication and professional development, yet many learners face challenges in language accuracy, organization, and academic conventions. Using a documentary research approach, this study reviews literature on academic writing, educational technology, and English language education. The findings indicate that appropriate integration of technology can enhance writing processes, promote learner autonomy, and support teachers’ professional development. The article concludes by suggesting pedagogical guidelines for effective technology integration in academic English writing instruction.
