One of the new approaches in technology is using email for learning a second or a foreign language. The present study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of using email in improving writing skills among Iranian EFL students. The participants of the study were 42 preintermediate Iranian EFL students in an English language institute in Shiraz, Iran. The participants were randomly assigned into an experimental and a control group. Each group consisted of 21 participants. The treatment continued for three weeks and 3 sessions a week. The students in the experimental group used email for sending their assignments. These students were in contact with their teacher via email and asked writing questions. In contrast, the students in the control group taught writing without using the computer in traditional way. To be sure of homogeneity of the participants, a pre-test was administered before the treatment. After three weeks treatment, a post-test was administered to check the students ’ improvement in writing. The findings revealed that the students in in the experimental group performed significantly better than the students in the control group.  \nKeywords: Writing Skill, Electronic Mail, Computer-Assisted language learning, Iranian EFL students  \n1. Introduction  \nWith the advent of technology, the need for the application of this approach in education increased. At present, this new approach is using effectively in different aspects of education. One of the main applications of technology is in language classrooms. Technology has both influenced on the communication among people and has provided more accessibility and more flexibility in the way education can serve people. Today, a large number of educational settings try to motivate their teachers or instructors to implement technology and especially Web and internet in the language classrooms. Email is fairly new technology which is developing worldwide and using this technology is increasing in the classrooms to promote second or foreign language learning and teaching. Although a number of studies have investigated the impact of using email on students’ learning, few studies have explored the students’perceptions towards using email and its effectiveness in learning a second or foreign language. Some researchers (e.g. Gunduz 2005) believe that technology in education plays an important role in the last three decades of the 20th century. Gunduz (2005) stated that as working with computers are so easy, and everybody is easily access to the computers and internet, and they are able to store a large amount of data, the application of computers in educational systems have been developing in all over the world. With the application of technology in education, the process of language learning has been drastically changed recently. Computers are not just considered as information processing tools, they are suitable tools for communica","cbCaiuEaHe0yoKe4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuEaHe0yoKe4","pdf",139026,"English","# Abstract\n# 1.
