摘要

本研究使用WhatsApp来促进在线讨论，以开发ESL写作的内容理念。在一项准实验研究中，33名大学预科学生参加了为期五周的WhatsApp在线讨论，以支持面对面的指导。前测试、后测试和五次每周写作测试进行了管理、检查和分析，以确定参与者的写作表现。研究结果显示，在使用WhatsApp进行在线讨论后，实验组的论文写作分数有了显著提高。参与者能够使用MWEG生成的内容来支持他们论文中的论点。除了内容创意的发展，实验组认为WhatsApp在线讨论可以增强信心，提高积极性，并鼓励学生之间的互动。WhatsApp群组互动的主题是热烈的讨论、分享意见和轮流。虽然对照组的考试成绩也有所提高，但不如实验组显著。

Developing ESL Writing Content Through Online Discussions on WhatsApp

This study uses WhatsApp to facilitate online discussions in developing content idea for ESL writing. A quasi-experimental study was conducted with 33 pre-university students participating in online discussions on WhatsApp for five weeks to support face-to-face instructions. Pre-test, post-test, and five weekly writing tests were administered, examined, and analysed to identify the participants' writing performance. The findings show significant improvement in the experimental group's essay writing scores after using WhatsApp for online discussions. The participants were able to use the content generated from the MWEG in supporting the arguments in their essays. Besides content idea development, the experimental group saw the WhatsApp online discussions as boosting confidence, raising motivation, and encouraging interactions among students. The themes that emerged from the WhatsApp group interaction were lively discussions, sharing of opinions, and turn-taking. While the control group also improved in their test scores, it was not as significant as the experimental group.
