Abstract
It is a truism that success at university depends on the possession of outstanding writing skills. Yet of all language skills, writing is the most arduous to master and the situation gets even worse in the case of second or foreign languages. The current study aims at investigating the suitable ways to overcome the difficulties students of English face with writing especially in terms of vocabulary items and spelling mistakes by exploring the effects of adapting autocorrect and spell- checkers technologies on their writing skills. The research data comes from an experiment conducted at Adrar University, south of Algeria, in which 18 LMD (Licence-Master-Doctorat, equivalent to the BMD, Bachelor-Master-Doctorate) students utilize autocorrect and spell-checkers as assistive technology. The finding of the experiment shows that the use of assistive technology has perceptible effects regarding the quality of students’ production as these technologies displace the attention from worrying about spelling mistakes to other aspects of writing. The paper does also propose some suggestions regarding the improvement of the writing skill at the level of Algerian Higher educational institutions (HEIs).

Abstract [Persian]
موفقیت در دانشگاه به داشتن مهارت های برجسته نویسندگی بستگی دارد. با این حال، در بین تمام مهارت های زبانی، مهارت نوشتن سخت ترین مهارت برای تسلط است و وضعیت در مورد زبان دوم یا زبان های خارجی بدتر می شود. پژوهش حاضر با بررسی تأثیرات تطبیق فناوری‌های تصحیح خودکار و غلط‌گیر املا بر مهارت‌های نوشتاری، راه‌های مناسبی را برای غلبه بر دشواری‌های دانش‌آموزان انگلیسی در نوشتن به‌ویژه از نظر موارد واژگان و اشتباهات املایی بررسی کرد. داده های تحقیق از آزمایشی در دانشگاه آدرار در جنوب الجزایر به دست آمده است که در آن 18 دانشجوی LMD (لیسانس-مستر-دکتری، معادل BMD، لیسانس-کارشناسی ارشد-دکتری) از تصحیح خودکار و غلط‌گیر املا به عنوان فناوری کمکی استفاده می‌کنند. یافته های آزمایش نشان می دهد که استفاده از فناوری کمکی تأثیرات محسوسی بر کیفیت تولید دانش آموزان دارد زیرا این فناوری ها توجه را از نگرانی در مورد اشتباهات املایی به سایر جنبه های نوشتاری منحرف می کند. این مقاله همچنین پیشنهادهایی برای بهبود مهارت نوشتاری در سطح مؤسسات آموزش عالی الجزایر (HEI) ارائه می‌کند.
