Q. Paraphrase the following paragraph in your own words in 110 to 120 words.

It is important to emphasize that the use of Google Docs certainly encourages collaborative learning among students. This is because Google Docs is designed to be utilized by more than one person, and each individual will help each other in the revising process to expand the content by providing information, attaching files or documents, or creating links to enhance understanding of each student on certain topic (Morgan & Smith, 2008). Thus collaboration among students whether they are of high or lower proficiency in the language exists within interaction and communication through Google Docs. Therefore through the collaborative feature that Google Docs serves, it is expected that supportive learning among students can be encouraged and this will help them to improve their writing skills especially to produce better essays.

Answer 1

Please consider this possibility.

Given that Google Docs has been designed to make working together easy, small groups of students can use it not only to help each other collect content, links, and file attachments but also to engage in organizing and revising the material. In this process, each participant re-examines and refines their own understanding (Morgan & Smith, 2008). Thus, in supportive and encouraging learning environments, students at almost all proficiency levels in a target language can use Google Docs to interact, communicate, and collaborate in ways that improve not only inputs—the depth and breadth of their comprehension of a topic—but also outputs such as their writing proficiency in the target language and their essay-writing skills.
