Abstract |
|
|
| This study investigated the effectiveness of online task-based activities on developing the writing skills of students with learning disabilities. This study employed the experimental design by developing a list of task-based activities and a pre-test and a post-test to measure students’ level in writing before and after applying the strategy. The study included 65 students with LDs in the English language in Irbid city, Jordan. Two groups were formed from the sample; one was taught using task-based activities and the other was taught by the traditional method. The results showed an improvement in the performance of the experimental group in writing skills. The task-based activities proved to be effective in online education and can be used by teachers of LDs in the classroom as well. Finally, the study recommended providing training on the importance of task-based activities and conducting more studies on this topic.
