As computer‐assisted language learning gains popularity, word processing is becoming standard in foreign language classrooms. However, for logographic languages, which have input processes different from those of English and other Indo‐European languages, computer use by second language learners is relatively uncommon and its impact on writing is unknown. This study examined the effects of computers on writing efficiency and quality among intermediate learners of Japanese. Subjects corresponded with Japanese peers by e‐mail, and took computer‐written and handwritten tests. Response times, accuracy rates, and t‐units were compared. There was no significant difference in response times for the two modes, but accuracy rates and number of kanji characters used were significantly different, indicating that learners benefited from computer writing. This was most evident among mid‐skilled learners, suggesting that positive effects for computers may depend on level of linguistic skill
