母语同伴CMC反馈类型对英语学习者的影响

The Types and Effects of Peer Native Speakers' Feedback on Chinese Learners of English Through CMC

研究计算机中介交流(CMC)中母语同伴反馈的类型以及对中国学生在话语转型中的影响。研究利用论坛(Forum)和维基(Wikis)两种沟通工具,对同伴反馈的类型进行了分析。研究发现虽然大部分有关句法和词汇的反馈得到了外语学习者承认和肯定,但是中国学生似乎只采纳他们认为是正确的母语同伴反馈,并不进行进一步的学习;本研究还发现不同的网络沟通工具所产生的影响有所不同。

This study investigated the type of feedback and the impact of English native-speakers＇ feedback on Chinese peers＇ discourse restructuring in the context of an online collaborative writing task.The communication formats of both forums and wikis determined the type of feedback provided by peers in online communication tasks.Regarding the effect of such feedback,it is concluded that,although morphosyntactic and lexical feedback is largely acknowledged and incorporated,the Chinese peers seem to accept it without further follow-up study or discussion.These effects vary,however,by forums and the wiki sub-tasks.
