Abstract: Technologies like email promotes language learning and teaching. Accordingly, the following are the advantages for both teachers and students: first, when students use email in the classroom for language learning, they become familiar with the tool, especially how the tool would guide them to enhance their language learning; second, at more convenient times, a teacher could interact with a student or a group of students working on a project; finally, email saves time for some assignments (Rokni, 2013).
This study aimed to find out the language performance in writing of selected e-mails of English major freshman to junior students of the College of Education. The writing inventory was used in assessing the writing activities of the respondents and analyzed on the different levels of language and lexical forms.
Results revealed that the level of language used by the students in this study varied ranging from inquiry to reactions, while organization, vocabulary, and mechanics adopted to the hybrid form of communication. On the lexical forms in their writing outputs, the students used short responses and code-switching.
Keywords: Language performance, writing, electronic mails, writing inventory, levels of language, lexical forms.
