Computer‐Assisted Classroom Discussion in the Foreign Language Classroom: Conversation in Slow Motion
Abstract
This article explores an innovative use of computer‐assisted language learning (CALL) in the form of a computer network used for real‐time, synchronous discussion in intermediate Portuguese and elementary French classes. Of special interest to the author are the communicative opportunities offered by a local area network (LAN) in the teaching of foreign languages. She describes how computer‐assisted classroom discussion (CACD) provides a unique environment for student‐student and student‐teacher interaction in an experimental networked laboratory established by the English Department at the University of Texas, Austin.

Text chat can help with noticing because there is a written record for learners to refer to, thus allowing them to scroll back through the conversation to check on linguistic forms (Beauvois 1992; Smith & Sauro 2009).
“In addition, researchers argue that text chat can help with noticing because there is a written record for learners to refer to, thus allowing them to scroll back through the conversation to check on linguistic forms (Beauvois 1992;Smith & Sauro 2009).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
