Abstract The current study presents an analysis of a linguistic device supporting interactional coherence in computer-mediated communication (CMC). focused on the use German causative conjunction weil and, more specifically, syntactic variation verb-final versus verb-second word order -clause. Verb-final indicates dependent clause, whereas independent clause. While only former is accepted writt...

Team-based learning is an active learning instructional strategy used in the traditional face-to-face classroom. Web-based computer-mediated communication (CMC) tools complement the face-toface classroom and enable active learning between face-to-face class times. This article presents the results from pilot assessments of computer-supported team-based learning. The authors utilized pedagogical...

_______________ While many researchers have studied the application of computer-mediated communication (CMC) in peer review activities in L2 composition classes, few have directly compared the effect of asynchronous CMC (ACMC) versus written comments. This paper describes a small-scale project carried out in an ESL composition class to reexamine the effects and affects of asynchronous CMC in L2...

More and more teachers are developing complex e-learning designs including online communication and online co-operation during two lessons. The intensive use of Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) tools in lessons and seminars at brick and wall universities requires a complex set of skills from students and teachers. As of the intensive use of new technologies and social media technologies ma...

The language used in Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) has been a debated issue for long time. Ever since the normalisation of this method communication, interaction going on only between common people, resulting more expressive and direct communication process. However, recently, elites royalties have also come into CMC platforms which causes confusion people royalties. Therefore, it leads...

INTRODUCTION It has become a truism that computer-mediated communication (CMC) systems, as compared with previous communication technologies, are cheap, fast, and democratic; as such, their popularity continues to grow. Every year, it seems, a new type of CMC enters the scene: ICQ (‘I Seek You’), instant messaging (IM), short-messaging service (SMS, also known as text messaging or ‘texting’), w...

The importance of electronic media (especially CMC) for intra-organisational communication and for the transfer of information within multi-national corporations will be illustrated. In addition, a number of different barriers to communication which can emerge in the context of information-based industry will be discussed. A further component of this paper will comprise of an approach to the id...

Introduction This paper describes a year-long study of computer-mediated communication (CMC) tool use by high school students. The purpose of this study is to explore a range of variables related to characteristics of students in order to form a better understanding of how to construct learning environments where CMC tool use is an integral part of daily activity. Student characteristics are ex...

The digital information era has allowed increasing online deception opportunities. In addition, the performance of detecting deception has been no better than chance in face-to-face communication, and is reported to be even worse in computer-mediated communication (CMC). Thus, there is a great need to uncover effective cues to deception in CMC. Online interaction weaves an implicit social netwo...
