With developments and advancements in technology, online English learning has become a method for English teachers to use in training students’ English competence. This study focused on the effects of keeping online English journals on Facebook to improve college students’ English writing abilities, as well as to overcome their English writing anxiety. The participants in this study, 35 freshmen majoring in applied foreign languages, were divided into two groups: the high-achievement group and the low-achievement group. The quasi-experimental research lasted one academic semester. A questionnaire was used to explore students’ perceptions toward writing an online journal on Facebook. The results showed that students significantly improved their writing skills and reduced their symptoms of writing anxiety. It is suggested that future research do the following: (1) compare different teaching methods on a control group and an experimental group; (2) increase the valuation of learning from classmates and teachers’ feedback in the process of English writing.
