Interacciones Sincronicas Escritas En Linea Y Aprendizaje Del Español
Resumen del Libro

In the last years new communicative practices have appeared due to the Computer-Mediated Communication spreading, The impact of this communicative practice in the education field and, specially, in foreign languages learning has meant the incorporation of new methodological proposals in order to take advantage of this communication. This study focuses on linguistic and interaction analyses o synchronous interactions carried out in the different chat rooms of a virtual platform (wwwgalanet.eu) created to favor Romanic language on line teaching. The main objectives are: first, to offer a detailed description of the Spanish discourse used by second language learning students and, second, to specify what kind of negotiations between native and non-native speakers can help on line Spanish acquisition. Both matters will enable us to create a theoretical guides outline of the synchronous written interaction on line. We will specify the competences and strategies that the students must develop in it in order to be efficient in these communicative practices. To achieve these objectives, we have made up a corpus of 55 interactions carried out between 2004 and 2007 in the chat rooms of the Galanet platform (a pedagogical and virtual environment). The analysis perspective used refers to the Computer-Mediated Discourse Analyses as well as to the Interactive Discourse Analyses. Both of them will bring us the necessary tools to define the communicative and linguistic features of this sort of communication, This description will be essential to advance in the study of the chat as a space of communication in our specific field : the didactics of Spanish as a foreign language.
