Abstract

Discussing and reasoning remain essential activities in a 21st educational and professional ecosystem, which are often supported by multimodal communication. This paper links learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) to a professional and communicative approach through the debate task, which is supported by a ubiquitous CALL/MALL environment. This study will show the proposed structure of the debate in order to establish interdependent and collaborative work that can be successfully planned by means of combining 21st cognitive and communicative skills that will enhance students' EFL performance in Higher Education. Students' decisions to explore target content, role positions, and the production of well-linked communicative messages in EFL will be shown at upper intermediate level B1+/B2. The empirical data suggests that interactive patterns and argumentative rebuttals in English encourage a multimodal educational and professional ecosystem for 21st century learners, who use face-to-face and technological devices to interact with each other and to access ubiquitous information.

英语语言教育中的辩论
在21世纪的教育和专业生态系统中,讨论和推理仍然是必不可少的活动,这些活动往往得到多模式交流的支持。本文通过辩论任务将作为外语的英语学习与专业的交际方法联系起来,而辩论任务是由无处不在的CALL/MALL环境所支持的。本研究将展示辩论的建议结构,以建立相互依存和协作的工作,可以通过结合21世纪的认知和沟通技能来成功规划,从而提高学生在高等教育中的英语表现。在中上水平B1+/B2中,学生探索目标内容、角色定位和产生良好联系的交际信息的决定将得到展示。实证数据表明,英语的互动模式和辩论式反驳为21世纪的学习者提供了一个多模式的教育和专业生态系统,他们使用面对面和技术设备相互互动并获取无处不在的信息。
