Data Collection 
Mixed methods were utilized to gather data regarding the use of a MALL approach for a writing 
class to measure their effectiveness in improving the writing skills of female students at the 
intermediate level. The researcher collected data from questionnaires, observation notes, and 
writing performance ratings. 
Method 
Participants 
Forty first-year female students enrolled in an intermediate intensive English program at Kuwait 
university participated in this research. They were all native Arabic speakers instructed to 
produce an appropriate paragraph-level text in their writing class. Participant ages ranged from 
17 to 19 years. English proficiency levels, determined from a placement test taken before 
admission, were almost equal across participants. The duration of the study was approximately 
five weeks.
