| Research Abstract |
It was discovered that the growth rate in volume of online written communication (chat) observed in a college-level English course is no less noticeable even when the course reduces written exercise to make room for oral communication. The combination of the two modes of communication makes it possible to introduce chat to busy college English curriculum because chat, a still rare mode of communication for a sole activity of an English class, would be easier to include in a conversational or discussion class if coupled with oral exercise in comparison to a course exclusively devoted for chat. It was also found out that the best combination is to place chat before oral communication for each task. This research has made a new contribution to the author's long-term research on 3-dimensional interactive education system.
