AB The use of digital technologies in teaching English for specific purposes (ESP) has become increasingly common and valuable recently. Thus, this study aims to provide examples of effective digital tools (DT) that can improve writing skills and to evaluate their usability and usefulness through a questionnaire. From the teachers' point of view, it focuses on DTs that facilitate the development of updated teaching resources adapted to the students' needs. From the students' angle, it emphasizes the practical application of DTs that enhance writing skills during the course and beyond, fostering autonomous improvement. The findings indicate that DTs can improve learners' writing by aiding with grammar and domain-specific terminology,as well as by effectively conveying complex ideas. Moreover, the use of writing DTs offers long-term benefits, promoting learner autonomy and improving digital literacy through exposure to various DTs.
