520			_aAbstract: Technology plays a significant role in language teaching today and it has become a very commonly used tool in schools and colleges all over the world. The difference is only in the extent to which technology is being utilised for the teaching-learning process. Depending on the availability of infrastructure, technology used in the teaching-learning process varies from simple tape recorders to iPads. Early technological aids supported a teachercentred class, whereas the more advanced technology of today, like the iPad, is more suitable for a learner-centred class. Today, we have schools and colleges providing iPads or apps, with the lessons pre-loaded. The role of technology in language learning has taken various forms – a simple tool, a tutor, and as a medium to communicate. The various roles of technology, in turn, have created a great impact on language teaching. This paper explores the effect of computer mediated language teaching on writing. This experimental study was conducted in the first-semester postgraduate class of the electronic media programme, as part of the course work. Social media tools like blogging and WhatsApp were used in the study as a medium to help tertiary level students improve their writing skills.
