Threeinstruments were used for data collection: a pre-test, a post-test, and an interview schedule. Thefindings reveal statistically significant differences (at α= 0.05) in the participants’ mean scores onthe post-test in favor of those in the WhatsApp group, combined e-mail and WhatsApp group, ande-mail group, respectively. The findings also reveal that the treatment has a significantly highereffect of on paraphrasing than on summarizing. Several pedagogical implications andrecommendations are put forth.
