This study reports on young second language (L2) learners' reactions and impressions of online chat based on two case studies. A total of nine children participated in ten synchronous computer-mediated communication (CMC) sessions on Blackboard. Main data sources included the children's electronic texts from the chat room, questionnaires, interview transcripts, essays, and the researcher's field notes. The results showed that the children thought of electronic conversation as fun and interesting because they could freely express and discuss their ideas in the chat room. Among many advantages identified by the participants, it was interesting to note that the children had positive beliefs about CMC's potential in helping them enhance their English skills. Whereas to some the fun of getting to chat online with other friends was an attractive feature, others mentioned social distance caused by online conversation. Seven out of the nine children indicated that they would like to try online chat again if they were given another chance in the future.
