This study investigated the effects of online summarization practice on the reading comprehension
and summarization abilities of EFL learners. Thirty-five EFL learners read and summarized expository
passages using an online tutoring program called WriteToLearn. Upon online submission of their
summaries, the learners received instant automated feedback and had multiple opportunities to revise
summaries. Another group of 34 learners serving as a comparison group read the same passages and
did comprehension exercises which required them to provide answers to comprehension questions in
writing. Both groups took a reading comprehension test and a summarization test once before and
once after the four-week training. The results showed that while the two groups exhibited significant
improvement in micro-level and macro-level reading comprehension and summarization, the online
summarization group performed significantly better than the comprehension exercise group in macrolevel
reading comprehension and summarization after training. The findings suggest that online
summarization practice is superior to the traditional procedure of answering comprehension
questions for helping learners enhance reading comprehension and summarization abilities.
