: It cannot be disputed that the internet has been a boon in the teaching and learning environment. As such, the focus of this study investigated the efficiency of using online corrective feedback (via e-mail) for academic writing classrooms compared to conventional corrective feedback methods. In order to examine if this innovative form of corrective feedback can be introduced into the ESL classroom, an experimental design was selected to compare a control and an experimental group of undergraduates pursuing the English for Academic Purposes course. A survey was carried out to determine how feasible the use of online corrective feedback is when utilised to aid students improve from the first draft to second draft of their writing. Analysis of data using statistical SPSS tools indicated that online corrective feedback saved time and improved participants’ writing skills. The results of the study should help in determining the practicality of this form of online corrective feedback to be integrated into the academic writing classroom.
