Using Electronic Mail for English as a Foreign Language Instruction.

Liaw, Meei-Ling

System, v26 n3 p335-51 Sep 1998

Investigates the efficacy of integrating electronic-mail writing into two English-as-Foreign-Language (EFL) classrooms and explores the dynamics involved in the process of e-mail exchanges. Students in one class were paired up to exchange e-mail messages with the students in the other class for one semester. At the end of the project, a written survey and group interviews were conducted to collect students' comments on and assessment of the approach. (Author/VWL)
