“…Subsequent generations use information and communications technology (ICT) and the third generation comprises CD-ROMs (Rothenberg 1998), Web presentation of course materials (Raskin 2001), and asynchronous CMC (Möllering 2000;Stanley et al 2001). The distinction between using technology to distribute content, and using technology for communication, as in e-mail (Desmarais 1999) and computer conferencing (Lamy & Goodfellow 1999b), became central to understanding exactly what was being offered by distance online language courses. Concerns about student access to learning environments also emerged at this stage (Poon 2003) and a number of courses offered content in both traditional and online options (Reynard 2003).…”

This article provides a critical overview of the field of distance language learning, challenging the way in which the field is often narrowly conceptualised as the development of technology-mediated language learning opportunities. Early sections focus on issues of concept and definition and both theoretical and pedagogical perspectives on the field. Emphasis is placed on evident shifts from a concern with structural and organisational issues to a focus on transactional issues associated with teaching/learning opportunities within emerging paradigms for distance language learning. The next section reviews choices and challenges in incorporating technology into distance language learning environments, foregrounding decisions about technology made in particular sociocultural contexts, the contribution of 'low-end' technologies and research directions in developing new learning spaces and in using online technologies. The investigation of learner contributions to distance language learning is an important avenue of enquiry in the field, given the preoccupation with technology and virtual learning environments, and this is the subject of section six. The two final sections identify future research directions and provide a series of conclusions about research and practice in distance language learning as technology-mediated interactions increasingly come to influence the way we think about the processes of language learning and teaching. Important themes explored in the literature include traditional and emerging paradigms for distance language learning, the development of hybrid learning opportunities, course development and evaluation, teaching roles, learner support, the advent of computer-mediated communication (CMC) and new learning spaces, technology choice in particular sociocultural contexts, and learner contributions to the process of distance language learning, all of which are reviewed here. Throughout the article emphasis is placed on the complexity of distance language learning and teaching given the presence and interplay of human, institutional and sociocultural influences; emphasis is also given to the value of adopting a learner-centred focus in exploring the actual experience and potential of the distance learning of foreign languages.

Scope, goals and methods in CALL research: questions of coherence and autonomy

This paper considers the problem of coherence and direction in CALL research. Rather than suggesting a top-down approach to setting goals for research, it argues for a much closer examination and a much stronger emphasis on existing CALL research work as a platform for directing and informing future CALL work. Based on a corpus of 47 CALL research articles published in books and journals in 1999, it sets out a framework for the description and analysis of CALL research as it is represented in the literature. Two major directions and three important, though less frequent, directions are described in detail, using examples from the corpus, and the implications for research in the future are considered. Particular emphasis will be placed on identifying the goals of CALL researchers and on clarifying the unique attributes of research in this field.

“…On pourra trouver des détails quant à la mise en place de ce cours et de son contenu dans Desmarais (1999). Nous tenterons d'isoler les facteurs reliés à la persévérance dans ce contexte particulier et nous partagerons certains moyens qui nous ont permis de réduire l'abandon.…”

Après avoir situé le phénomène de la persévérance dans l'enseignement à distance, l'auteur décrit, à partir d'une situation d'enseignement de l'écrit à distance (par courrier électronique) en langues étrangères (espagnol et allemand) auprès d'une clientèle adulte professionnelle, les facteurs qui ont influencé la persévérance. Les facteurs identifiés sont les suivants : le format coopératif, la spécificité des commentaires émis par les tuteurs, la séquence des activités, le système de rémunération, le rôle joué par le tuteur, les facteurs individuels présents chez les participants.
