The participants of the study were 60 students from one of the Experimental Secondary Schools in Egypt. Instruments of the study were EFL critical reading and writing tests. Students in both the experimental and the control groups were pre-tested using the critical reading test and the writing test. Then, students of the experimental group were using Web Quest. Finally, students in both groups were post-tested using the same instruments. The study showed that there was statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the pre and the post critical reading test and writing test of the experimental group in favor of the post tests. This difference can be attributed to using Web Quest.展开更多

This study employed weblogs to support the writing process of Thai EFL students and provided an opportunity for them to participate in a Thai-Japanese weblog exchange project. The results showed that student bloggers： （1） enjoyed blogging due to their perceived reading and writing incentives, the exchange of cultural knowledge, and networking; and （2） employed the writing process to complete their written assignments. Findings suggest that weblogs can foster EFL learners＇ motivation, development of reading and writing skills, and development of cultural knowledge, and facilitate their writing process via cyberspace.展开更多

This system which is used in network consists of four modules, including task module, structure training module, text training module and study evaluation module. With the advantages of instantaneity, interactivity, authenticity and adequation of learning resources, the applied writing abilities of the students can be improved effectively by using the network system. And the problems during the process of applied writing teaching, for example, the teaching contents lose contract with social life, the textbook contents are lack of innovation, and writing training goes against cognizing system, can be solved effectively.展开更多

One comparative experiment has been conducted between NBLT method of teaching writing and traditional face-to-face way of teaching writing. The post-test outcomes gathered from the two groups were analyzed using SPSS statistical software package, which demonstrated the advantages of students' writing competency in a networked teaching environment over that of students in a traditional teaching environment. These findings of the research have led the author to the conclusion that NBLT might be encouraged in future language teaching.展开更多

New groups of writers and new writing styles are constantly springing up and existing theoretical criticism has been attacked and torn apart, with the result that it has often lost its voice. With the rapid growth of online literature, the influence of non-mainstream literature in the domain of literary reading and consumption is increasing. Consequently, the above-mentioned problem is evolving into a new contradiction, i.e. a lack of mutual understanding and tolerance with regard to reading. In the past decade, an enormous number of novels have come out online, falling into over twenty categories. This paper takes into account both chronology and type of writing in selecting for review ten outstanding works of different genres from the last decade, stressing the aesthetic qualities and distinctive styles that differentiate them from their print counterparts.展开更多

It also substantially challenges the survival and development of traditional literature. In the course of its development over the past decade, four obvious problems have been highlighted in practice and theoretical research： simple equation of the technological features of the Internet with the features of online literature, misconceptions about online literature, inability to distinguish between the basic traits of online and traditional writing and inability to understand the fundamental theoretical differences between online literary texts and traditional literature.展开更多
