Teachers' E-feedback (e-mails) for EFL Students' Academic Writing Development
Abstract
The aim of the current study is to shed light on the potential of e-feedback in a form of e-mails for improving Second year LMD students' academic writing at Batna 2 University. Data were collected through a semi-experimental qualitative research. Based on the findings, the researcher found that there was a positive effect of using e-feedback (e-mails) on improving students' academic writing. In general, e-feedback as a fresh and modern pedagogic practice was effective in many ways as providing a positive learning environment different from the physical rigid classroom environment, and this increased students' participation. Thus, the present study recommends that teachers should focus more on the use of e-feedback particularly e-mail in responding on students' writings. Moreover, the researcher recommends decision makers to arrange workshops for training teachers in this new educational tool
