Conducting a multi-stage systematic review, we analyzed 52 scholarly research articles published between 2000 and 2016. Our findings indicate that while learners perceive linguistic benefits from interacting with different interlocutors in mainly blog-and wiki-mediated writing activities, they also report challenges with respect to task demands and the quality of feedback. Learners perceive CMC-integrated writing to be authentic and interactive, thereby developing their motivation, autonomy, and identity as writers. Finally, the implications of this review and the directions for future research in the domain of CMC and EFL/ESL writing are discussed.  \nKeywords: computer-mediated communication; learner perceptions; Web 2.0; EFL/ESL writing  \n1. Introduction  \nAlong with the increasing impact of computer-mediated communication (CMC) on how we communicate, second language (L2) learning and teaching is now mediated by various participatory technologies (H. Lin, 2015; Thorne, Sauro, & Smith, 2015; S. Wang & Vásquez, 2012) .

In addition, they collaborate on pedagogical tasks using various CMC tools while being exposed to multimodal content (Chun, Kern, & Smith, 2016; Golonka, Bowles, Frank, Richardson, & Freynik, 2014; Rassaei, 2017) .  \nEvolving from the “revising” era of word processing in the 1980s into the era of Web 1.0 of creating and retrieving information in the 1990s (T. Chen, 2016; Warschauer, 2010), the current Web 2.0 era of CMC not only enables learners to share information, but it also creates numerous opportunities for interaction. In addition to the asynchronous or time-delayed communication via blogs, wikis, email, and discussion forums, learners also communicate in synchronous or real-time environments, such as chat rooms and videoconferencing (e.g. Skype). In these participatory environments, L2 learners not only develop and practice their linguistic skills, but they also acquire various digital literacy skills, such as making connections between various texts, images, sounds, and links (Godwin-Jones, 2016; Hafner, Chik,& Jones, 2015).  \nIn this state of affairs, understanding how learners perceive language learning mediated by technology-enhanced participatory environments is important for language educators. Even though there is extensive research on learner perceptions about the integration of CMC into language learning and teaching (e.g., Chao & Lo, 2011; Gleason & Suvorov, 2012), there is no synthesis of the published research reporting on learner perceptions about such integration. In light of Wesely’s (2012) two-dimensional conceptualization of learner perceptions—i.e. (1) how learners see themselves and make sense of their own learning and (2) how they perceive the learning situation involving classroom variables, such teachers and peers—our review aims to explore what benefits learners perceive of the integration of different CMC tools into EFL/ESL writing, and what issues or challenges they report.
