This study investigates the nature and complexities of real-time chat, a type of synchronous computer-mediated communication (CMC), as it used in a foreign language learning environment. Specifically, the study offers a detailed account of the positive and negative aspects of pairing up or grouping beginning (i.e., first-semester university-level) language learners with slightly more advanced (i.e., second- and third-semester university-level) students.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This study investigates the nature and complexities of real-time chat, a type of synchronous computer-mediated communication (CMC), as it used in a foreign language learning environment. Specifically, the study offers a detailed account of the positive and negative aspects of pairing up or grouping beginning (i.e., first-semester university-level) language learners with slightly more advanced (i.e., second- and third-semester university-level) students.
520 $a The review of different ways of naming and defining the discourse and types of electronic communication highlights the need to provide labels that capture the essence of new tools and phenomena. The seemingly constant and relatively fast-paced development and use of new technologies often require students, teachers, and researchers to reflect on and redefine their philosophical values as they relate to classroom practices.
520 $a The data described and analyzed herein suggest that students using chat in a foreign language electronic classroom environment engage in orientation to task, linguistic form, sociolinguistic features, and group cohesion. In many instances of task orientation students communicate in English, either to facilitate an expedient collaborative decision regarding the instructions of the task or to distinguish their comments from those related to the discussion of the topic in French.
520 $a This study demonstrates that several factors must be taken into consideration when designing CMC-based pedagogical tasks for learners of French. These are the following: amount and level of previous chat experience; curricular goals that are linked to the pedagogical environment; and feasibility of scheduling when tasks are to be completed outside the boundaries and scope of the traditional classroom experience.
