“…They take a long time to use new vocabulary in writing (30% of respondents) and find it difficult to combine logical sentences (36%).

“…Studies that concentrated on students at the lower level or younger generation is very limited. (Ghulamuddin et al, 2021).

In this fast-paced modern world, 21 st century teaching, as well as Information and Communications Technology (ICT) skills are indeed pertinent to sustain a platform for pupils to learn and participate actively during the learning process. The usage of ICT makes every student as a technophile learner. However, pupils especially in rural areas are still learning passively via drilling method in class during the writing lesson. ICT and various learning strategies are rarely used in the teaching-learning process; thus, pupils lack of interest and ideas as they are not involved actively. This paper aims to discuss the use of Padlet as a collaborative writing tool in improving the writing performance as well as enhancing active learning among Year 5 primary school pupils especially in the rural area. The major outcomes of this study demonstrate that respondents writing performance and participation in class has increased. This research also addresses some of the issues that have arisen as a result of the use of Padlet in the classroom. The main key challenge discovered during the intervention were lack of Internet access. This study's outcomes are important to the new educational tools in writing for the present generation of pupils.

English plays a vital role in our lives as it helps communication. There are four major English skills: reading, listening, speaking, and writing. However, it has always been a huge problem when it comes to writing among students in Malaysia. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of using the 4Cs, which are collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and creative thinking of the 21st-century learning skills, to foster students' narrative writing skills using online learning platforms via mobile learning. A need analysis was conducted using a questionnaire through Google Forms. The respondents for this study were 100 teachers who teach the English language among Form 4 students in Malaysia and have different teaching experiences. The findings revealed that integrating the four main skills (4Cs) of the 21st-century skills and online learning platforms via mobile learning has great potential to foster narrative writing skills among upper-secondary students. This study was significant as it explored the potential and requirement of the 4Cs and online learning platforms via mobile learning in developing students’ narrative writing skills. The outcomes from this study could enable future researchers or policymakers to provide specific guidelines by incorporating the 4Cs, using online learning platforms via mobile learning and preparing appropriate online writing modules for students in Malaysia to progress in their writing skills. Such initiatives align with the Ministry of Education’s blueprint that promotes the integration of new teaching and learning approaches, especially by using technological features in the Malaysian education system (Education Blueprint 2013-2025).
