摘要：Traditional method of teaching writing has been seen monotonous to the current generation thus this forces educators to incorporate and integrate Web 2.0 which allows for more exposure to teaching and learning as it involves the use of technology and the internet. This study explores the use of Instagram as a platform in developing students’ English language writing ability and to discover their attitudes towards Instagram as an interactive learning tool. Employing an action research design, 25 Form 3 English language learners in SM Sains Rembau were involved and their posts containing descriptive writing were given corrective feedback and analyzed. A survey was conducted to collect their attitude. The results of the study indicate Instagram as an effective tool for developing learners’ vocabulary range and grammatical accuracy. Learners also portrayed positive attitude as they fancied the use of Instagram for writing. Instagram can be an effective pedagogical tool in second language acquisition if used and supervised appropriately.
