本研究探討英語學習者在網路互動教學中的言談實務及語文發展，尤其是有關全球網路社群的語言使用及本土外語社群的文化認同等議題。本計畫彙整社會文化相關研究，設計網路及實體混合式英語教學課程，以觀察大學外語社群在不同網路語言教學環境中之言談實務。課堂師生互動，包含教師帶領學生閱讀網路英語文相關研究論文、討論寫作技巧；而學生課後與網路社群之互動，共分三層次：(1)學生個人在本土非同步電腦網路環境張貼論文摘要、回答討論問題，(2)學生在全球非同步網路環境張貼短文、學生互給建議或評語以及利用同步電腦網路與小組成員討論，及(3)學生分組參與其他與全球社群互動之網路讀寫活動。本研究將進一步分析大學生如何使用語言參與網路互動學習活動，包含：她們如何運用詞彙知識及語言策略於網路讀寫言談，以發展語文溝通能力？為了了解學生語文發展及言談實務，將對學生的語言文字資料作言談分析。此外，為了了解學生學生的網路互動行為及對不同網路語言教學活動態度，包含：本土外語社群如何利用不同網路資源來解讀英語內容並溝通意義？她們參與不同網路語言教學活動時所面臨的挑戰為何以及如何調適？本研究將對學生的參與情形及問卷結果作質量分析。 ; The present study explores EFL university students’ literacy development and discourse practices in Internet-mediated communities. In particular, this project is aimed to describe their second language (L2) literacy and cultural experiences from both global and local practices of English use. Drawing upon sociocultural research, I propose a blended curriculum that includes face-to-face literacy apprenticeship and three-tier networked interaction: (1) intra-class individual asynchronous reading and writing in local networked environments; (2) asynchronous and synchronous collaborative writing, discussion, and communications in popular global Internet communities ; and (3) group participation in events and activities in open Internet communities. The primary sources of data in this study are students’ discourses and message exchanges documented in these language and cultural networked communities. Analyses of the text content and the interaction structures would help understand discourse practices in different Internet-mediated contexts. Another purpose of this study is to examine how discourse knowledge, especially lexical and social cohesion, can facilitate L2 literacy development. Analyses of discourse and linguistic data will be conducted to understand how students use lexical and social strategies to improve communicative competence. Still another purpose of this study is to elicit students’experiences learning English through the Internet as well as their perceptions and preferences of Internet-mediated language learning communities. For this part of the study, individual students will be asked to reflect on learning and talk about practices. Quantitative data also will be collected through online surveys delivered to students and will be statistically analyzed by computer software. In the end, I will interview a small group of learners to gather additional information or clarify unclear ideas. ; 研究期間 9708 ~ 9807
