The Effects of Texting Language on Esl Students’ Writing Skills: Teachers’ Perspectives

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate Pakistani ESL instructors' opinions on how text messaging affects their students' writing abilities. The project's major goals were to investigate the impact of text messaging on ESL students' writing abilities from the perspective of the teachers and to ascertain the level of academic English spelling. In all, thirty ESL teachers took part in the research. Participants' answers were gathered using a five-point Likert scale, and descriptive statistics were utilised to analyse the quantitative data. It has been discovered that learners who use text messaging and those who don't have remarkably different English spellings in their writing abilities.
