The Five Books of Moses by Everett Fox
The study investigates interactions between 29 tandem partners from a German and a North American university, who met twice a week in a text-based online environment that allowed them to communicate with each other in real time via a computer keyboard. The analysis focuses on learners' codeswitching, negotiation of meaning, error correction, and the use of specific spellings and punctuation. The data suggest that most partners complied with the principle of reciprocity and that the non-threatening atmosphere of the MO encouraged them to test their hypotheses about their L2. Moreover, the analysis revealed a noticeable increase in learners' awareness of the target language. All students frequently engaged in negotiation of meaning, but there was a conspicuous absence of corrective feed-back. Contents: Electronic Discourse - Computers and Language Learning - The Teacher Role - Negotiation of Meaning in Real-time Online Interactions - Error Corrections in Tandem Discourse - Codeswitching - Bilingual Conversation.
