Computers, the Internet and Student Writing.

Backer, Jimmy

English Teachers' Journal (Israel), v52 p30-32 Oct 1998

Describes how many Israeli English-as-a-Second-Language students use cyber-English to chat with peers worldwide via the Internet, suggesting that this is a useful addition to standard instruction because it is a motivating and powerful means of communication, and using English language e-mail is a vital skill that all students need for the 21st century.
