While much research supports the benefits of computer-mediated collaborative writing (CW) in second language (L2) classrooms, the assessment of CW has received scant attention. This study proposed an assessment scheme considering both the products and processes when assessing online synchronous CW, and explored its effects on learners'…

The participants were 48 students from two junior English composition classes at a Taiwanese university. One class (n = 24) was assigned…

As second-language (L2) classrooms embrace technology for learning through computer-mediated communication, there is need to consider how L2 learners can learn online collaborative techniques when traditional teaching methods have not encouraged online collaborative skills. This qualitative study examines how post-secondary English language…

The purpose of this study was to explore how online writing technology affects ELL students' writing processes from the perceptions of twelve ELL students. To answer this question, the quantity of participation, interviews, and refection journal analysis were used to gather information. The findings indicated that there were advantages (including…

Combining wiki technology with the literature circles could be powerful and beneficial for promoting the learning of English as a foreign language (EFL). However, little research has been conducted to investigate the role of EFL students' social forms of regulatory strategies in their learning performance in the context of wiki-supported…

This study focuses on the use of wikis in collaborative writing projects in foreign language learning classrooms. A total of 34 intermediate level university students learning English as a foreign language (EFL) were asked to accomplish three different wiki-based collaborative writing tasks, (argumentative, informative and decision-making) working…
