Conversations in Slow Motion: Computer-mediated Communication in the Foreign Language Classroom
Abstract
This article presents an overview of early research into an innovative use of networked computers as a research and didactic tool. The focus will be on a preliminary study of computer-mediated discussion on networked computers examining student-student and student-teacher interaction in real time within the context of an Intermediate French course at the university level. Because of the rapid nature of the electronic exchanges, the resulting 'conversation' is in fact a hybrid phenomenon that falls somewhere between writing and speaking, hence the title 'Conversations in Slow Motion.' Recent research into this innovative use of the computer to enhance classroom discussion is showing positive results in terms of linguistic, cognitive, and affective benefits to the foreign language learner.

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.
