The tasks were composed of the synchronous online forums, academic essays and oral debates of EFL undergraduate students (N= 54) enrolled in a 12 week module of English for academic purposes. The methodology encompassed qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis. All data were transcribed and coded qualitatively. Then results were calculated using ANOVA and t-tests to find the differences across tasks for each variable. Significant findings were revealed regarding the influence of synchronous online forums on students' performance compared to academic essays and oral debates. Pedagogical implications then highlighted how synchronous online forums can be used in the rhetoric and composition EFL classroom for both the use of language and critical thinking.
