Teletandem (Telles, 2009) is a model of telecollaboration in which pairs of foreign language students from different countries meet regularly and virtually to learn each other’s languages. Within this context, participants are expected to help their partners learn by providing feedback. The multimodal nature of this type of environment, however, may offer different learning opportunities (Guichon & Cohen, 2016) and have an impact on feedback provision. This research aims at investigating peer corrective feedback in Teletandem in relation to the different modes. Using a case study approach, we describe how three Brazilians offered feedback to learners of Portuguese as a foreign language. Data used came from 20 Teletandem oral sessions that took place over a period of three years and were stored in MulTeC (Aranha & Lopes, 2019). Data analysis revealed that CF provision is characterized by reformulations, with a blurred distinction between recasts and explicit corrections due to a combination of multimodal strategies. Results also indicate that error correction may be more (or less) emphasized depending on how interlocutors combine multimodal resources. Pedagogical implications are discussed.

Teletandem (Telles, 2009)是一种远程协作模式,来自不同国家的外语学生定期见面,虚拟学习彼此的语言。在这种情况下,参与者应该通过提供反馈来帮助他们的伙伴学习。然而,这种类型环境的多模式性质可能提供不同的学习机会(Guichon & Cohen, 2016),并对反馈提供产生影响。本研究旨在探讨网络教学中同伴纠正反馈与不同模式的关系。通过案例研究的方法,我们描述了三位巴西人如何向将葡萄牙语作为外语的学习者提供反馈。所使用的数据来自为期三年的20次Teletandem口头会议,并存储在MulTeC中(Aranha & Lopes, 2019)。数据分析显示,CF提供的特点是重新制定,由于多模式策略的结合,重新制定和明确修正之间的区别模糊。结果还表明,根据对话者如何结合多模式资源,可能会更多(或更少)强调错误纠正。讨论了教学意义。Teletandem (Telles, 2009)对远程协作的模型进行了测试,该模型描述了不同语言的学习者、不同语言的学习者、不同语言的学习者、不同语言的学习者、不同语言的学习者和不同语言的学习者之间的远程协作。在这种情况下,参加会议的人必须是与会者,必须是伙伴,必须是代表代表,必须是代表代表。自然多模态定义了环境类型、依赖性、提供不同场合的学徒(Guichon & Cohen, 2016),而影响者定义了因素,而不是回溯性测试。但是,在不同的模式下,对不同的模式进行反作用力校正时,对不同的模式进行反作用力校正时,对不同的模式进行反作用力校正。当“仆人”接近“语言”的时候,“学徒”的“语言”就会出现“倒退”和“语言”。Les donnees utilisee便利于20个会议,orales de teleetanddem qui 'etaient deroulees sur une periode trois和et et股票sur MulTeC (Aranha & Lopes, 2019)。我分析了家具的设计风格、家具的设计风格、家具的设计风格、家具的设计风格、家具的设计风格、家具的设计风格、家具的设计风格、家具的设计风格、家具的设计风格、家具的设计风格和家具的设计风格。结果的独立平等、错误的修正、结果的离散性、结果的离散性、结果的离散性、结果的离散性、结果的离散性、结果的离散性、结果的离散性、结果的离散性、结果的离散性、结果的离散性、结果的离散性、结果的离散性、结果的离散性。论话语暗示教学法。

Multiple theoretical frameworks support the notion of interactional feedback as facilitative of second language (L2) development. However, research demonstrates that learners often avoid providing feedback during peer collaborative work, thus failing to take advantage of key opportunities for language learning and development. Recent studies have examined how metacognitive instruction (MI) may be used to explicitly train learners in the provision of interactional feedback, with results showing increased instances of feedback (Fujii et al., 2016) and improved L2 outcomes (e.g., Sato & Loewen, 2018; Sippel, 2019). Building on this work, this exploratory study investigated the effects of MI on intermediate L2 English learners’ (n = 26) provision of interactional features in synchronous computer-mediated communication. Using a pretest-treatment-posttest design, all learners completed three decision-consensus tasks, with learners in the treatment group receiving direct instruction on the benefits of interaction via an instructional video, a practice task, and subsequent whole-class debriefing. The control group completed the tasks without MI. Results demonstrate that learners’ provision of interactional feedback and language-related episodes increased following MI, with qualitative measures indicating learners had positive perceptions of the training and improved awareness of the potential benefits of interactional feedback in computer-mediated communication. De multiples approches theoriques soutiennent la notion de retroaction interactionnelle comme facilitateur du developpement d’une langue seconde (L2). Cependant, les recherches demontrent que les apprenants evitent souvent de presenter une retroaction pendant le travail collaboratif entre pairs, ne profitan ainsi pas des principales possibilites d’apprentissage et de developpement des langues. Des etudes recentes ont examine comment l’enseignement metacognitif (EM) peut etre utilise pour former explicitement les apprenants a la retroaction interactionnelle, les resultats montrant une augmentation des cas de retroaction (Fujii et al., 2016) et une amelioration des resultats en L2 (par exemple, Sato & Loewen, 2018; Sippel, 2019). S’appuyant sur ces travaux, cette etude exploratoire a examine les effets de l’EM sur l’offre de fonctions interactionnelles dans la communication synchrone par ordinateur aux apprenants d’anglais de niveau intermediaire L2 (n = 26). En utilisant un modele de pre-traitement-post-test, tous les apprenants ont accompli trois tâches de consensus decisionnel, les apprenants du groupe de traitement recevant des consignes directes sur les avantages de l’interaction via une video pedagogique, une tâche de pratique et un compte rendu ulterieur pour toute la classe.

多种理论框架支持互动反馈促进第二语言发展的概念。然而,研究表明,学习者经常避免在同伴协作工作中提供反馈,从而未能利用语言学习和发展的关键机会。最近的研究已经研究了如何使用元认知教学(MI)来明确地训练学习者提供互动反馈,结果显示反馈的实例增加(Fujii等人,2016)和改善的第二语言结果(例如,Sato和Loewen, 2018;Sippel, 2019)。在此基础上,本探索性研究调查了MI对中级二语英语学习者(n = 26)在同步计算机媒介交流中提供互动特征的影响。采用前测试-处理-后测试设计,所有学习者完成三个决策共识任务,实验组的学习者通过教学视频、练习任务和随后的全班汇报,直接接受互动益处的指导。控制组在没有MI的情况下完成了任务。结果表明,学习者提供的互动反馈和语言相关情节在MI后增加,定性测量表明学习者对训练有积极的看法,并提高了对交互式反馈在计算机中介沟通中的潜在好处的认识。多重方法、理论解决方案和反向交互的概念促进了第二语言的发展。研究结果表明:研究结果表明:研究结果表明:研究结果表明:研究结果表明:研究结果表明:研究结果表明:研究结果表明:研究结果表明:研究结果表明:研究结果表明:研究结果表明:研究结果表明:研究结果表明:研究结果表明:研究结果表明:研究人员最近研究了对前显式元认知(EM)的评价,包括利用前显式元认知(EM)、前显式元认知(EM)、后显式元认知(EM)、后显式元认知(EM)、后显式元认知(EM)和后显式元认知(EM) (Fujii等人,2016)和后显式元认知(EM)(例如,Sato和Loewen, 2018);Sippel, 2019)。研究人员考察了“学徒关系”、“学徒关系”、“学徒关系”、“学徒关系”、“学徒关系”、“新中介关系”、“学徒关系”、“学徒关系”、“学徒关系”、“学徒关系”、“新中介关系”的影响(n = 26)。现在联合国模型de pre-traitement-post-test apprenants分为满分的这些人钩,德成事实decisionnel共识,les apprenants du groupe de traitement recevant des交付直接苏尔les优点之一通过一个视频可能有相互作用,一个环节de检疫等联合国考虑建筑渲染ulterieur倒吹捧架势。“群体控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”、“语言控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”、“效果控制”。

Metaphor Comprehension and Engineering texts: Implications for English for Academic Purpose (EAP) and First-year University Student Success 隐喻理解和工程学文本:对学术英语学习和大学一年级学生成功的启示

One of the challenges that students face during the transition from high school to university is mastering discipline-specific academic expectations and norms. From a language perspective, they may encounter new academic and disciplinary vocabulary, some of which will be metaphoric in nature. However, some students whose first language is not English may struggle, as metaphoric competence is not often a consideration in ESL/EAP classrooms (Littlemore & Low, 2006). Among the supports that postsecondary institutions have implemented to improve students’ chances of success are diagnostic and post-entry language assessment (Read, 2016). This mixed methods study investigated the comprehension of metaphoric language in first-year engineering reading materials using diagnostic assessment. First, a corpus of first-year engineering texts was qualitatively explored, finding personification and family/relationship metaphors. Subsequently, a metaphor comprehension test was designed using content from the corpus and administered as a reading task in an existing diagnostic assessment for first-year engineering students. Descriptive statistics, correlations, and t-test analysis of the responses revealed that English first-language (L1) students outperformed English second/additional (L2) language students. Further, those who performed poorly on the diagnostic assessment tended to also struggle with the metaphor comprehension task. Implications are discussed for EAP and first-year university classrooms.   Un des défis auxquels les étudiants font face lors de la transition entre l’école secondaire et l’université est la maîtrise des attentes et des normes universitaires propres à chaque discipline. Du point de vue de la langue, il se peut qu’ils rencontrent du vocabulaire nouveau lié à l’université et à une discipline, dont une partie sera de nature métaphorique. Cependant, certains étudiants, dont la première langue n’est pas l’anglais, peuvent éprouver des difficultés, puisque la compétence métaphorique n’est pas souvent prise en considération dans les cours d’ALS/EAP (cours d’anglais académique) (Littlemore & Low, 2006). Parmi les soutiens que les institutions postsecondaires ont mis en place pour améliorer les chances de réussite des étudiants, on trouve des évaluations langagières diagnostiques après l’admission à l’université (Read, 2016). Cette étude, à l’aide de diverses méthodes, a enquêté sur la compréhension du langage métaphorique dans les ouvrages de lecture de première année d’ingénierie en utilisant une évaluation diagnostique. Tout d’abord, on a évalué la qualité d’un corpus de textes d’ingénierie de première année pour y trouver des métaphores liées à la personnification, à la famille et aux relations. Par la suite, on a conçu un test de compréhension des métaphores tirées du corpus et on l’a administré comme une tâche de lecture dans un test d’évaluation diagnostique déjà existant pour les étudiants en première année d’ingénierie.

在从高中到大学的过渡中,学生面临的挑战之一是掌握特定学科的学术期望和规范。从语言的角度来看,他们可能会遇到新的学术和学科词汇,其中一些词汇本质上是隐喻的。然而,一些母语不是英语的学生可能会遇到困难,因为在ESL/EAP课堂上,隐喻能力通常不被考虑(Littlemore & Low, 2006)。高等教育机构为提高学生成功机会而实施的支持措施包括诊断和入学后语言评估(Read, 2016)。本研究采用诊断性评估法对一年级工程类阅读材料中隐喻性语言的理解能力进行了研究。首先,对一年级的工程类文本进行了定性研究,发现了拟人化和家庭/关系隐喻。随后,使用语料库中的内容设计了隐喻理解测试,并将其作为现有的一年级工程专业学生诊断性评估的阅读任务。描述性统计、相关性和t检验分析显示,英语第一语言(L1)学生的表现优于英语第二语言/第二语言(L2)学生。此外,那些在诊断性评估中表现不佳的人也倾向于在隐喻理解任务中挣扎。讨论了对EAP和大学一年级课堂的启示。在过渡中心、二级和高等学校、高等学校和高等学校、高等学校和高等学校、高等学校和高等学校、高等学校和高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校、高等学校等。你的意思是说,你的意思是说,你的意思是说,你的意思是说,你的意思是说,你的意思是说,你的意思是说,你的意思是说,你的意思是说,你的意思是说,你的意思是你的意思。因此,有些人不喜欢premiorelanguue n 'est pas l 'anglais,不喜欢将自己的做比较,不喜欢将自己的做比较,不喜欢将自己的做比较,不喜欢将自己的做比较,也不喜欢将自己的做比较(Littlemore & Low, 2006)。Parmi les soutiens里面的机构postsecondaires mis在地方为改良莱斯德从开始des学生机会,在他们找到评价langagieres diagnostiques然后l 'admission因为学校(阅读,2016)。这个练习曲,l 'aide de多样化的方法,一个调查是关于理解du言语活动metaphorique在ouvrages de讲座de首映annee d 'ingenierie diagnostique现在一个评价。除此之外,在一项关于个人价值的研究中,将个人价值与个人价值结合起来,将个人价值与个人价值结合起来,将个人价值与个人价值结合起来,将个人价值与个人价值结合起来,将家庭关系与个人关系结合起来。Par la套件,concu联合国测试de des隐喻理解轮胎到了du语料库administre这样一个讲座在测试环节d”diagnostique记忆existant倒les学生在首映annee d 'ingenierie。统计、描述、通信、分析、测试、交换交换、交换交换、交换交换、交换交换、交换交换、交换交换、交换交换、交换交换、交换交换、交换交换、交换交换、交换交换、交换交换、交换交换、交换交换、交换交换、交换交换、交换交换、交换交换。除此之外,我们还可以从以下几个方面了解到:没有必要将所有的限制性因素都归结为:没有必要将所有的限制性因素都归结为:没有必要将所有的限制性因素都归结为:没有必要将所有的限制性因素都归结为:没有必要将所有的限制性因素都归结为:讨论了英国学术界和高等学校的 )课程的影响。

Subsequently, a metaphor comprehension test was designed using content from the corpus and administered as a reading task in an existing diagnostic assessment for first-year engineering students. Descriptive statistics, correlations, and t-test analysis of the responses revealed that English first-language (L1) students outperformed English second/additional (L2) language students. Further, those who performed poorly on the diagnostic assessment tended to also struggle with the metaphor comprehension task. Implications are discussed for EAP and first-year university classrooms. \u0000  \u0000Un des défis auxquels les étudiants font face lors de la transition entre l’école secondaire et l’université est la maîtrise des attentes et des normes universitaires propres à chaque discipline. Du point de vue de la langue, il se peut qu’ils rencontrent du vocabulaire nouveau lié à l’université et à une discipline, dont une partie sera de nature métaphorique. Cependant, certains étudiants, dont la première langue n’est pas l’anglais, peuvent éprouver des difficultés, puisque la compétence métaphorique n’est pas souvent prise en considération dans les cours d’ALS/EAP (cours d’anglais académique) (Littlemore & Low, 2006). Parmi les soutiens que les institutions postsecondaires ont mis en place pour améliorer les chances de réussite des étudiants, on trouve des évaluations langagières diagnostiques après l’admission à l’université (Read, 2016). Cette étude, à l’aide de diverses méthodes, a enquêté sur la compréhension du langage métaphorique dans les ouvrages de lecture de première année d’ingénierie en utilisant une évaluation diagnostique. Tout d’abord, on a évalué la qualité d’un corpus de textes d’ingénierie de première année pour y trouver des métaphores liées à la personnification, à la famille et aux relations. Par la suite, on a conçu un test de compréhension des métaphores tirées du corpus et on l’a administré comme une tâche de lecture dans un test d’évaluation diagnostique déjà existant pour les étudiants en première année d’ingénierie.

Leveraging Listening Texts in Vocabulary Acquisition for Low-literate Learners 利用听力文本帮助低文化水平学习者习得词汇
Q4 EDUCATION & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH Pub Date : 2020-07-31 DOI: 10.18806/tesl.v37i1.1330

To date, the vast majority of research in second language (L2) vocabulary acquisition has looked at reading, but relatively few studies have explored the potential for vocabulary acquisition through listening. As for participants involved, studies concerning first language (L1) acquisition have mainly focused on preand emergent-reading children, whereas those concerning L2 acquisition comprised learners already highly literate in their L1. Like other research areas of second language acquisition (SLA), learners with low or no literacy in their L1 have been virtually neglected in these studies. Clearly, who we study determines what we know in SLA, yet there exists a significant gap in research literature regarding how understudied, low-literate (and illiterate) populations with strong oral traditions may acquire L2 vocabulary through listening. This paper addresses this gap by bridging research on cognitive processing and L2 vocabulary acquisition through listening. In light of this, relevant pedagogical implications for low-literate populations are discussed.
迄今为止,绝大多数关于第二语言词汇习得的研究都着眼于阅读,但相对较少的研究探索了通过听力习得词汇的潜力。对于所涉及的参与者,有关第一语言习得的研究主要集中在阅读前和紧急阅读儿童身上,而关于第二语言习得的研究则包括已经高度精通母语的学习者。与第二语言习得的其他研究领域一样,在这些研究中,母语读写能力低或不读写的学习者几乎被忽视了。很明显,我们研究的对象决定了我们对二语习得的了解,然而,关于研究不足、低文化水平(和文盲)的人群如何通过听力习得二语词汇,研究文献中存在着显著的差距。本文通过衔接认知加工和二语听力词汇习得的研究来弥补这一空白。有鉴于此,本文讨论了对低文化人口的相关教学影响。

Recent research on disciplinary literacy has called for a paradigm shift among secondary content teachers from perceiving themselves as disciplinary content transmitters to disciplinary literacy teachers who model and engage students in reading, writing, inquiring, and doing like experts within each discipline. How do content teachers incorporate disciplinary literacy and stay responsive to the unique and diverse learning needs of the adolescent English Language Learners (ELLs) who are integrated in the mainstream classes? Drawing on Moje’s (2015) 4Es framework and a translanguaging pedagogy, this paper presents a set of instructional practices to support content teachers in integrating disciplinary literacy within the disciplines to enhance adolescent ELL students’ learning in vocabulary development and reading. La recherche récente en matière de littératie dans toutes les disciplines appelle à un changement de paradigme chez les enseignants des différentes matières du secondaire pour se percevoir non plus comme des transmetteurs de contenu de la discipline mais comme des enseignants de littératie de la discipline qui servent de modèles et motivent les élèves à lire, écrire, se renseigner et à se comporter comme des experts à l’intérieur de chaque discipline. Comment les enseignants de contenu incorporent-ils la littératie dans leur discipline et restent-ils à l’écoute des besoins d’apprentissage uniques et variés des adolescents qui apprennent l’anglais (AALS) et qui sont intégrés dans les classes ordinaires? En s’appuyant sur le cadre 4E de Moje (2015) et sur une pédagogie translangagière, cet article présente une série de pratiques d’enseignement visant à soutenir les enseignants de contenu dans l’intégration de la littératie dans toutes les disciplines de façon à enrichir l’apprentissage des adolescents ASL en matière de développement du vocabulaire et de lecture.

Before arriving in a host country, international students may be motivated to complete some institutional requirements online. Many studies address computer-assisted instruction for second-language students, but few focus on fully online English for Academic Purposes (EAP) writing courses. This comparative case study, grounded in action research, examined the extent to which a fully online version of a graduate-level EAP course offered to international students at a North American university achieved comparable outcomes to a face-to-face version. A quantitative and qualitative analysis of study participants’ performance and course evaluations indicated that the outcomes and student satisfaction of both cohorts were comparable. However, an examination of the participants’ final research papers and online interactions revealed differences and challenges. Based on these findings, it is recommended that future online courses provide more instruction on source integration, library research, and building an interactive learning community. Overall, the findings suggest that when carefully designed, assessed, and refined, fully online courses hold strong promise in EAP academic writing contexts. Les etudiantes et etudiants internationaux tiennent parfois a remplir certaines exigences institutionnelles en ligne avant de se rendre dans leur pays d’accueil.

在抵达东道国之前,国际学生可能会在网上完成一些机构要求。许多研究针对第二语言学生的计算机辅助教学,但很少关注完全在线的学术英语(EAP)写作课程。这一基于行动研究的比较案例研究,考察了一所北美大学为国际学生提供的研究生水平EAP课程的完全在线版本在多大程度上取得了与面对面版本相当的结果。研究参与者的表现和课程评价的定量和定性分析表明,两组的结果和学生满意度具有可比性。然而,对参与者的期末研究论文和在线互动的检查揭示了差异和挑战。基于这些发现,我们建议未来的在线课程在资源整合、图书馆研究和建立互动学习社区方面提供更多的指导。总的来说,研究结果表明,经过精心设计,评估和完善,完全在线课程在EAP学术写作环境中具有很强的前景。学生和学生的国际合作伙伴关系在某些情况下可以得到补偿,例如,在大学里,学生可以在大学里学习,而不是在大学里学习。英国文学学院(EAP)辅助性课程(enseignement assist par ordinateur pour les学徒et学徒and ' lalais language second fait L ' object de nombreuses etudes, mais peu 'entre elles prenent sur des course d ' eclais academique, EAP)补助性课程(dispenses en ligne)。在研究行动的基础上,提出了一种比较事实,即学位比较事实,结果比较事实,结果比较事实,结果比较事实,结果比较事实,结果比较事实,结果比较事实,结果比较事实,结果比较事实,结果比较事实,结果比较事实,结果比较事实,结果比较事实,结果比较事实,结果比较事实,结果比较事实,结果比较事实,结果比较事实,结果比较事实,结果比较事实,结果比较事实,结果比较事实,结果比较事实。我们分析了参与者的定量和定性结果,参与者的满意度,课程和个体的满意度,结果和学生的满意度,学生的满意度,两个群体的满意度。在研究过程中,参与者与参与者之间的相互作用,在研究过程中,参与者与参与者之间的相互作用,在研究过程中,参与者与参与者之间的相互作用,在研究过程中,参与者与参与者之间的相互作用。以基础为基础,以资源为基础,以资源为基础,以资源为基础,以资源为基础,以资源为基础,以资源为基础,以资源为基础,以资源为基础,以资源为基础,以资源为基础,以资源为基础,以资源为基础。Dans l 'ensemble, les constations de l 'etude suggique, s 'ils sonsoigneement conus, values et peaufine, les course complementdispenses en ligne, prometteurs Dans des contextes d ' ecurities d ' anglais academique。

Communication in today’s societies is increasingly digital. Twi er, texting, social networks, information and communication technologies (ICTs), augmented/virtual reality, and online gaming are transforming the way we use language, collaborate, and the way we teach and learn English (Chapelle & Sauro, 2017; Kessler, 2018). A decade ago, we may have sent 65 texts a month to close friends; now, the average mobile phone user sends a minimum of 65 texts every 2 days (Van Camp, 2017). ICTs are inherently participatory and social, aff ording teachers an increasing array of synchronous and asynchronous forms of communication to explore genre, registers, and situationally specifi c interactions (Kessler et al., 2012). These emerging literacy practices involve new forms of social interaction, critical thinking, and language use along with new understandings of agency and community (Gee & Hayes, 2011). In addition, ICTs are disrupting the boundaries between time and space (Jones, 2016), off ering distance, blended, fl ipped, and web-enhanced modalities that are transforming notions of the learning environment. Technology complexifi es the relationship between a teacher and learners. Learners can now coproduce learning with technology alongside the instructor where teaching and learning roles are becoming ambiguous. Online teaching disrupts notions of social, teaching, and cognitive presence and requires the conscious curation of a “human feel” in online environments that can, at times, feel quite unfamiliar (Lawrence, 2014). Web 2.0 tools such as wikis, Google docs, and social networks are intensely collaborative, transforming relationships between communicators and their interlocutors, between teachers and students (Davies, 2011; Luo, 2013). Corpora and digital databases of language use can build students’ collocational competence, genre awareness, reading skills, and vocabulary (Boulton & Cobb, 2017; Hadley & Charles, 2017; Li, 2017). Learning management systems provide analytics tracking individual performance, enabling teachers to specifi cally target learner needs (Kessler, 2018; Stockwell, 2012). These technologies allow teachers to adopt innovative approaches to pedagogy: creating authentic, multimodal, action-oriented tasks; immersive experiences and individualized pathways to deepen language learning (Kessler, 2018); and a focus on developing langua-technoculture competence that Chapelle and Sauro (2017, p. 461) have highlighted as an ideal outcome of today’s technology-mediated language learning landscapes: the intersection between technology, culture, and language that 21st century learners need to navigate on a daily basis.
当今社会的沟通越来越数字化。twitter、短信、社交网络、信息和通信技术(ict)、增强/虚拟现实和在线游戏正在改变我们使用语言、协作以及教授和学习英语的方式(Chapelle & Sauro, 2017;凯斯勒,2018)。十年前,我们可能一个月给亲密的朋友发65条短信;现在,手机用户平均每2天发送至少65条短信(Van Camp, 2017)。信息通信技术本质上具有参与性和社会性,为教师提供了越来越多的同步和异步通信形式,以探索类型、注册和特定情境的互动(Kessler等人,2012)。这些新兴的识字实践涉及新的社会互动形式、批判性思维和语言使用,以及对代理和社区的新理解(Gee & Hayes, 2011)。此外,信息通信技术正在打破时间和空间之间的界限(Jones, 2016),打破距离、混合、翻转和网络增强的模式,正在改变学习环境的概念。技术复杂化了教师和学习者之间的关系。学习者现在可以与教师一起与技术共同产生学习,而教与学的角色变得模糊。在线教学颠覆了社会、教学和认知存在的概念,需要在在线环境中有意识地培养一种“人类感觉”,这种感觉有时会让人感到非常陌生(Lawrence, 2014)。维基、b谷歌文档和社交网络等Web 2.0工具具有强烈的协作性,改变了传播者与对话者之间、教师与学生之间的关系(Davies, 2011;罗,2013)。语料库和语言使用数字数据库可以培养学生的搭配能力、体裁意识、阅读技能和词汇量(Boulton & Cobb, 2017;Hadley & Charles, 2017;李,2017)。学习管理系统提供跟踪个人表现的分析,使教师能够专门针对学习者的需求(Kessler, 2018;斯托克,2012)。这些技术使教师能够采用创新的教学方法:创建真实的、多模式的、以行动为导向的任务;沉浸式体验和个性化途径加深语言学习(Kessler, 2018);Chapelle和Sauro(2017,第461页)强调,注重发展语言-技术文化能力是当今技术介导的语言学习格局的理想结果:21世纪学习者每天需要驾驭的技术、文化和语言之间的交集。
