dc.description.abstractThe objective of this study was to determine whether the implementation of reflective journals through WhatsApp had a positive impact on the development of English writing skills among second-year high school students majoring in Computer Science from class “C” at Salinas Innova Educational Unit. The study was based on the hypothesis that English writing skills can be improved through the use of reflective journals on WhatsApp. A quantitative research approach was employed. The theoretical methods included analysis-synthesis, inductive-deductive reasoning, and the systemic-structural method. Data collection techniques consisted of surveys and statistical analysis. The instruments used were a questionnaire, Hutchinson and Waters’ Second Model for Needs Analysis, a diagnostic test, a pre-test, and a post-test administered after the implementation of the proposal. The results showed that the students’ average English language proficiency level was A2. The participants expressed interest in improving their writing skills by keeping reflective journals on WhatsApp outside the classroom. Furthermore, the analysis of the post-intervention results revealed an improvement in students’ writing performance after the implementation of the reflective journals. Based on the findings of the study, it can be concluded that the use of reflective journals through WhatsApp had a positive impact on the improvement of students’ English writing skills.
