In fact, students still find it difficult due to weak mastery of writing components and limited practice as well as exposure and facility.

The data were obtained using observation, test and interview. The findings suggested that online writing application can help promoting students’ writing skill proven by the score increase from cycle 1 to 3 as well as their participation. The students either perceived the MALL application positively.
