This study was carried out with 28 Master EFL/ESL students who registered in the elective course of Computer Application in ESOL. To examine the influence of peers' and teacher's electronic feedback on ESL writing anxiety level as well as their writing performance, Second Language Writing Anxiety Inventory (SLWAI) and semi-structured Interviews were employed. The major finding from the Paired T-Test which was performed on the pre-post of (SLWAI) revealed a significant difference between them (p<.009) that reflected respondents' tendency to decrease their writing anxiety level after using peers' and teacher's e-feedback. Moreover, data collected from the interviews reported that the respondents perceived the e-feedback from peers and teacher as an important way to improve their writing performance.

The study population consists of 27 undergraduate students who were attending the course of Advanced Communication Skills, in the academic year of 2018. A purposeful sampling technique, specifically quasi-experimental procedure was employed in this study. The analysis of quantitative and qualitative data showed that the application of FCM was an effective approach in the EFL speaking classroom. The results of paired-sample t-test indicated that there was a significant difference between pre and post oral proficiency tests t (26) = -14.83, p<0.001. Moreover, it was found that students’ involvement and willingness to participate in the English conversational tasks and their level of commitment and English speaking performance have increased gradually. In light of the...

In light of the findings, the study recommended encouraging teachers to employ modern technologies in their teaching strategies, particularly FCM.

This encouraged other countries particularly the Republic of Sudan to use technology tools to enhance their educational institutions. This study aims at exploring to what extent Sudanese government universities are using the information communication technology tools in education. About 6011 teachers in 8 selected universities responded to the distributed questionnaire. Additionally, the data were analyzed using a statistical analysis to get frequencies and mean scores. The results of this study indicated that Sudanese government universities vary in the level of using the technology tools as well as the variance in the types of technological implications. These results reflected that Sudanese government universities still need to pay a great attention towards the use of information communication technology tools. Moreover, the government should make more efforts about providing training course for teachers to improve computer literacy.
