English Learners (ELs) seeking entry to higher education institutions must have control over a wealth of vocabulary and command it in academic discourses, particularly in written compositions. Research has long observed multiple linguistic, social and cognitive features associated with the success of these tasks; however, only recently has mobile instant messaging (MIM) become a tool of interest to achieve vocabulary learning. The present study sought to expand on this limited knowledge by identifying the affordances of WhatsApp® Messenger as a two-way interaction model of texting content. Furthermore, academic compositions data was collected through Writing courses and evaluated for target word (TW) use before and after the intervention period to detect a transfer effect, if any, from participating in the intervention. In a one-group pre-post-test design, 24 ELs of varying intermediate proficiency of English enrolled in a university intensive English program participated in a WhatsApp chat group intervention. Results from a series of statistical analyses, repeated measures ANOVA and repeated measures ANCOVA, revealed significant differences between pre-test and post-test mean scores in vocabulary recognition. Interestingly, the covariate, the frequency of interaction during the intervention, was responsible for 32% of the variability. Furthermore, there was strong evidence of WhatsApp's affordances for interaction, collaboration and flexible learning. Analysis from the writing samples showed 62% of participants produced one or more TW in their academic essays after the intervention. However, lexical frequency and diversity varied greatly by proficiency level, writing teacher and the composition's academic genre. The results have implications for researchers and leaders in English Language Teaching as well as for second language learners and teachers when they consider how to approach 21st century technology integration.
