Abstract:

Our very limited objectives for this project were to determine (a) whether or not international students learning English could learn to use computer equipment and (b) whether or not those students felt that the time invested was worthwhile, both in terms of their writing skills and in terms of the cultural experience. Additionally, we hoped to see whether working with the computer system would mitigate three significant problems ESL writers have in writing
American academic prose.
