Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Videoconferencing sessions contained more negotiated turns (negotiation routines and negative feedback) than both text chat and discussion board interactions; discussion board interactions in turn contained a higher proportion of negotiated turns than text chat. → 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
Per-mode analysis (Table 10) shows videoconferencing with 3.4% of turns as triggers versus 0.6% for text chat and 1.9% for discussion board; because output volume differed across modes, the proportion of negotiated turns was calculated for comparison.
"videoconferencing sessions contained more negotiated turns (negotiation routines and negative feedback) than both text chat and discussion board interactions."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- SCMC interaction shows a small advantage over FTF on overall L2 learning outcomes — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
- Completing meaning-focused tasks through CMC fosters negotiated interactions in all three modes (discussion board, text chat, videoconferencing) — related
- Content-related problems trigger most negotiation routines, and syntactic triggers are absent from text chat where turns are short — related
- Discussion board interactions generated no negative feedback at all, suggesting synchrony is required to foster corrective feedback — related
- Closed meaning-focused tasks foster more negotiation of meaning and negative feedback than open tasks in CMC — related
- Computer-mediated (videoconferencing) collaboration leads learners to use a wider range of knowledge resources than face-to-face collaboration — related
