  The purpose of this study is to report how 33 Korean fifth graders practiced English writing for nine months at an Internet Cafe Web-board (http://cafe.naver.com/eletea81.cafe) designed and managed by a teacher-researcher. The 33 students utilized the Internet Cafe Webboard at a computer lab to learn English writing twice a week for 9 months. The data were collected from their survey results, webboard messages, written reflections on the webboard-based English writing and the teacher"s observation reports. The study results are as follows: 1) They were generally satisfied with the web-board-based English writing activities; 2) The students became more active to learn English writing while they participated in the study. Implications of the positive study results are added to make web-hoard-based English teaching/learning more fruitful at most Korean primary schools.
