Using computer networking to facilitate the acquisition of interactive competence

The success of task type in facilitating oral language production in online computer mediated collaborative projects

“…This finding would seem to verify an earlier study by Chun (1994) which also found that learners in a synchronous CMC text-discussion made use of a wide range ofinteractional speech acts, including givingfeedback, asking for clarification, and ending discussions. Differences in discourse function, syntactic features, participation and LI used in a CMC discussion and a traditional face-to-face discussion.…”

Teachers' attitudes towards Computer-Assisted Language Learning in Australia and Spain

“…Some studies carried out in the 1960s and 1970s, such as Barrutia (1964and 1970), or Gilman (1969, already showed a tendency to study the effectiveness of a certain CALL application in language teaching. This was also one of the main foci in the 1990s and in more recent years, as we can see in Blake (2000), Cahill and Catanzaro (1997), Chun (1994), Chun and Plass (1996), Davis and Lyman-Hager (1997), Derwing, Munro, and Carbonaro (2000), clac 57/2014, 3-44 bilbatua and herrero de haro: attitudes 9 González-Edfelt (1990), González-Bueno (2000), Grace (2000Grace ( ), kasper (2000, Lam (2000), Nagata (1996Nagata ( , 1997Nagata ( , 1998Nagata ( , 1999, Osuna (2000), and Van Handle and Corl (1999), and more recently, in Aydin and Genç (2011), in Heift and Schulze (2012: 28), and Wang and Vásquez (2012).…”

The Role of Asynchronous Computer Mediated Communication on Enhancing Cultural Awareness

“…Early studies on CALL tended to focus on linguistic and affective characteristics of CMC in single classrooms (Beauvois, 1992;Chun, 1994;Condon & Cech, 1996;Herring, 1996;Kelm, 1992;Kern, 1995;Ortega, 1997;Warschauer, 1996) the basis of which were from the interactionist perspective of second language acquisition theory.…”
