However, such a means of communication is prone to potential pitfalls due to the nature of written language. Hence, the current research aims to understand students' use of politeness strategies and teachers' perception of their language. The study deploys the mix-method approach thought quantitative analysis of emails from students and interviews with teachers of English in department of foreign language in Djelfa university, Algeria.
