Abstract

Mel elektronik (e-mel) kini menjadi sejenis sistem komunikasi yang pantas dan efisien. Para pendidik sedar akan kepentingan e-mel sebagai suatu alat pengajaran bahasa yang berpotensi. Tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk menunjukkan inovasi dalam pengajaran penulisan dalam Bahasa Inggeris melalui e-mel. Di samping itu, kajian ini bertujuan mempertingkatkan interaksi di antara guru dan pelajar serta menarik minat pelajar untuk menulis dalam bahasa kedua tanpa was-was. Kajian ini telah dilaksanakan selama lima minggu dengan melibatkan 89 mesej e-mel. Dengan keizinan pelajar e-mel telah dimuat turun dan mesejnya dianalisa. Dapatan utama dalam kajian ini menunjukkan e-mel telah mengurangkan jarak interaksi di antara guru dan pelajar serta meningkatkan kekerapan menulis di antara pelajar. Beberapa cadangan diberi untuk menggalakkan penggunaan e-mel dalam pembelajaran Bahasa Inggeris.
