The present study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of a suggested web 2.0-based program in developing writing skills among EFL prospective teachers. The design of the present study was a pre-¬post, one experimental group. The participants of the study were forty- five EFL prospective teachers (Primary Education) at Faculty of Education, Aswan University. The instruments of the present study included an EFL writing skills checklist, and an EFL writing test, with a rubric for assessing the participants’ EFL writing skills. Participants studied writing lessons and practiced writing activities and tasks through a Facebook group “Think and Write” which created for the purpose of the current study. Data were collected and participants’ scores in the EFL writing test were used as measures of their development in writing skills. Results revealed that the participants’ EFL writing skills were developed as a result of participating in the Facebook group. Accordingly, the web 2.0-based program was found to be effective in developing writing skills among EFL prospective teachers.
