Abstract

The "Wordwall Whiz: Employing Wordwall to Enhance Writing Skills Among ESL Learners in Primary School" invention uses digital learning tools to help young ESL learners become more proficient writers. With Wordwall, an adaptable online tool, educators may design interactive tests and activities that are specific to the linguistic requirements of their pupils. Students interact with English writing assignments in a lively, engaging, and interactive manner when Wordwall is included into the primary school curriculum. This enhances their comprehension of grammar, vocabulary, sentence structure, and creative expression. The main objective of the project is to offer a solution to typical ESL problems, such as limited exposure to English outside of the classroom, detachment in traditional writing exercises, and difficulty in understanding grammatical ideas. In addition to increasing motivation, learners gain a better understanding of language patterns through interactive learning games. The invention also promotes peer evaluation, collaborative learning, and immediate instructor assessment, which improves the learning environment and makes language acquisition more interesting. Pre- and post-implementation examinations were carried out to see how well Wordwall improved ESL writers' abilities. The findings showed that students' writing fluency, inventiveness, and self-assurance in their use of English had significantly improved. With its adaptability to various learning situations worldwide, this innovation provides a scalable and economical option for teaching ESL in elementary schools.
