E-Mail and Word Processing in the ESL Classroom: How the Medium Affects the Message.
Biesenbach-Lucas, Sigrun; Weasenforth, Donald
Language Learning & Technology, v5 n1 p135-65 Jan 2001
Examines whether electronic mail writing will improve academic writing abilities. Nonnative students in an intermediate pre-academic English-as-a-Second-Language course responded to writing prompts using electronic mail and word processing. Their writing was examined for differences in uses of cohesive features, length of text produced in each medium, and differences in text-initial contextualization. (Author/VWL)
