Abstract

Most of the writing activities in the classroom provide writing theories and less practice. When students do the Maharah Kitabah assignment, they only do the assignment based on the teacher's instructions and then submit it without any revision. Sometimes, the teacher give feedback for students  in class, but it takes a lot of time and then not all students get corrections due to limited time. This research is aimed at dealing with that problem by "Google Docs" usage. This "Google Docs" gives students and teachers the opportunity to review other people's writing anywhere and anytime. This is a qualitative descriptive study using field research methods and interviews as data collection techniques. The finding shows that there is a positive response and output from students after participating in Maharah Kitabah learning using "Google Docs". Therefore, it can be concluded that using "Google Docs" in commentary students' assignment can be a great method in Arabic learning innovation, especially Maharah Kitabah.
