Theoretical background: SLA Interaction Hypothesis (Long 1996) Teaching implications Action research & teacher role Blended Learning: Bridging the gap Sociocultural Theory (Vygotsky 1978)

2.2 Research question

How does the Synchronous Interactive Text Creation process work?

18-Nov-15

Q1: How do learners go about completing a joint task?

  • Cooperation & Collaboration
  • Communication & text (co-)ownership

Q2: How do learners negotiate language form and meaning?

  • Language-related episodes
  • Revision types

4.2 How do learners negotiate language form and meaning? (Q2)

18-Nov-15

‘classic’ language-related episodes:

  • Collaborative dialogue: ‘Languaging’
  • Negotiation for meaning

Borderline cases:

  • Implicit episodes: Language awareness?
  • How to track attention?

4.3 First findings and implications

18-Nov-15

  • SITC/shared documents highly complex
  • Actual usage > technological potential

Process-oriented CMC definition required

  • Both patterns complementary
  • Text co-ownership established quickly

Collaborative patterns as a continuum

  • Implicit/explicit ‘languaging‘ not clear cut
  • Learner attention difficult to track

Broader concept of language-related episodes needed
