| Abstract | Computer-mediated communication (CMC) is increasingly used not only in second/for-eign language teaching but also in language teacher education. This study investigated distance students’ participation in an online discussion group established for an applied linguistic course entitled Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL). Patterns of stu-dent-student interaction and students’ attitudes toward the online discussion were identi-fied through quantitative and qualitative analyses of the students’ postings to the discussion group, transcripts of online discussions, and students’ responses to a web-based ques-tionnaire. The results of the study indicate that students contributed primarily in the forms of fully and partially task-focused messages while the messages mainly consisted of task-based answers and interactive contributions. Almost half of the student-student interactions involved giving on-and off-task opinions and/or ideas on particular matters. Students showed positive attitudes toward online discussions as a way of learning CALL as well as toward CMC as a means of facilitating collaborative learning. The findings sug-gest that online discussions are useful for CALL teacher training as they provide language teachers with practical experience of CMC and communication channels for shar-ing ideas, comments, questions, and resources with their fellow teachers. |
