| Popis | The paper deals with developing students’ writing skills within the newly-designed course of English for students of Law at Masaryk University. Since writing belongs to one of the most demanding and time consuming tasks, the author shares several activities which involve group writing and peer-reviewing with the use of ICT. Ideally, employing technology and engaging the students into assessing should result in more efficient practice and immediate feedback, however, it is necessary to keep in mind possible drawbacks. The paper presents the author's classroom experience with discussion forums, Google Docs and MU peer-review software, mentioning both advantages and disadvantages in specific tasks. |
