Abstract:

 This study showed that using the online environment in learning, especially Wiki with collaborative writing activities, was effective in improving students' writing competence and consequently positively improved students' attitude towards writing. therefore, there must be a shift in teacher's role to be a motivator, facilitator, guide, feedback provider and organizer allowed students to take part in their learning instead of being passive learner who depended only on teachers in their learning.  Recommendations  Based on the results of this study, the following recommendations are offered:  1- Teacher should use online collaborative writing techniques in writing in order to help students to exchange their ideas and actively participate in lesson activities.  2- EFL teachers should make usage of web 0.2 technology with its applications; e.g. (Wikis, blogs and podcasts) and use them in learning.  3- Training courses should be afforded to in-service teachers in order to acquire necessary skills and literacy of the 21 st century.  Suggestions for Further Research  -The effect of using other web 2.0 tools such as blogs on developing prospective EFL students' writing performance.  -More research is needed to investigate the effectiveness of Wiki in developing students' vocabulary acquisition and use.  -Further research should also investigate the effect of using Wiki in developing other writing sub-skills such as writing the topic sentence, generating ideas and so on  - It is suggested that further research should be done to examine the effectiveness of using Wiki in teaching grammar and vocabulary use.
