Subclaims¶

q2 i? Meaning-focused task completion through computer-mediated communication fosters negotiated interactions, with negotiation of meaning occurring in discussion board, text chat and videoconferencing interactions. → Sarré 2011

Evidence¶

Sarré 2011¶

Sarré, C. (2011). Computer-mediated negotiated interactions: how is meaning negotiated in discussion boards, text chat and videoconferencing? In S. Thouësny & L. Bradley (Eds.), Second language teaching and learning with technology: views of emergent researchers (pp. 189-210).

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Analysis of interactions from 12 groups of four French NNS biology students completing five ESP scenarios online (24 chat logs, 24 discussion board files, 24 video files) shows that "the completion of meaning-focused tasks through computer-mediated communication does foster negotiated interactions" in all three modes.

"The very first conclusion that can be drawn from the analysis of the data collected is the fact that the completion of meaning-focused tasks through computer-mediated communication does foster negotiated interactions."

Studies bearing on this claim¶

In meaning-focused second-language tasks done through text chat and other computer-mediated modes, which task and mode features produce negotiation of meaning and corrective feedback? This table gathers the studies behind this claim and the 6 narrower claims that bear on it: 2 distinct studies (2 causal), q2, 1 of 2 with an effect size coded. One row per study, codes as each entry records them; no effect is averaged and no verdict is drawn. Built by scripts/synthesize_claim.py from eval/synthesis/; a row that looks wrong is fixed on the claim it comes from.

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Closed meaning-focused tasks foster more negotiation of meaning and negative feedback than open tasks in CMC — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Videoconferencing was conducive to more negotiation of meaning than text chat and discussion board, measured as proportion of negotiated turns — related
• Discussion board interactions generated no negative feedback at all, suggesting synchrony is required to foster corrective feedback — related, from the same study: discussion boards produced negotiation but no negative feedback
• Content-related problems trigger most negotiation routines, and syntactic triggers are absent from text chat where turns are short — related
• Non-native speaker dyads provided with subtitled videos before tasks produce a significantly higher percentage of negotiated turns in online TBLL than dyads without videos — related
• Unprompted self-correction dominates negative feedback in NNS-NNS CMC interaction, interpreted as a face-saving preference — related
