Abstract
Computer Mediated Corrective Feedback (CMCF) revolutionizes educational communication, bridging the gap between instructors and learners. This study examines the effect of CMCF, using Wikis and Screencast, on EFL students' writing performance and their perceptions of this innovative approach. A quasi-experimental design was used, with 89 participants divided into experimental and control groups. The results showed a significant improvement in writing performance among CMCF recipients, with enhanced task achievement, coherence, lexical resource, and grammatical accuracy. Students praised CMCF for its engaging and supportive nature, leading to improved academic outcomes. The findings uncovered that CMCF's potential to transform EFL students' writing performance, urging educational stakeholders to adopt this pedagogical innovation.
