Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to report a study examining the experience of four instructors and seven students in using written commentary on one paper and audio commentary on another paper for a 200-level composition class. The study used surveys and interviews as data collection methods. The results show that instructors had mixed feelings about the use of audio, while students tended to have positive feelings toward it. The findings also reveal that teachers tended to give more global commentary when using audio comments and more local commentary when using written comments. Implications for further research are discussed at the end of the paper.
