To collect data, the researcher used multiple instruments: a lexico-grammatical performance skills checklist, an EFL writing skills checklist, computer and internet skills questionnaire, pre-posttest of lexico-grammatical performance skills and an EFL writing test. The researcher taught the experimental group through a program based on DDL while the control group was taught through the regular method of teaching. The results of the research revealed that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental group and the control group in the lexico-grammatical performance skills and EFL writing skills in favor of the experimental group. The effect size of the program based on DDL was found to be high.
