Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Writing is an essential component of foreign language education, playing a pivotal role in developing vocabulary, grammar, and overall language proficiency. For primary school learners, the choice of writing methods handwriting and keyboarding significantly influences their learning experiences and outcomes. Handwriting, a traditional approach, supports fine motor skill development, cognitive processing, and cultural appreciation, making it particularly effective for foundational language learning. Keyboarding, on the other hand, aligns with the demands of the digital age, offering speed, efficiency, and access to interactive tools that enrich the writing process. This study explores the roles of handwriting and keyboarding in teaching foreign language writing to young learners, highlighting their unique benefits and challenges. By integrating both methods strategically, educators can enhance engagement, foster skill development, and create a dynamic learning environment that supports diverse learner needs.
