Social and Cognitive Collaboration

In "Future Foreign Language Teachers' Social and Cognitive Collaboration in an Online Environment" by Arnold, N. and Ducate, L. (2006) research was done to gain more insight on how computer mediated communication is a viable means in which to teach students. As opposed to the conventional method of teaching in a classroom, the effects and results of teaching in a virtual environment is still disputable. The research involving student discussions in groups showed that out of the 5 groups, there were two groups that are able to reach the expected cognitive level of processing in the research. The results, however, were below expectations as one group failed to reach the level of cognitive process while two groups arrived at an resolution only once. The research is showing how teacher facilitation is not necessary, as students are capable of reaching resolutions by themselves with teacher involvement and peer feedback.

However, the research was done in a controlled environment. The students chosen for the research were all capable students, with the research methodology stating that the students all passed the TOEFL test with atleast a score of 250. Therefore this research cannot represent students on a global scale. There are age differences, and student motivation to consider. Age plays a role as it limits experience, and the motivation of students in an online environment is crucial. It is easy for students to multitask or even sidetrack from the task in an online environment as there exists many resources on computers to be used. When this occurs it becomes difficult for the students to continue in discussions and come to a resolution. Without motivation, students become less willing to participate in the group discussion.

The research can be expanded to include other social/age groups in order to come to a result which can be used as a reference for learning in online environments.

Negotiation of Meaning in Online Chats

In "Negotiation of meaning and codeswitching in online tandems" by Kotter (2003), it was stated that during research students from the US were asked to interact with students from Germany on MOO. They communicated in both German and English and responded to a questionaire which evaluated their actions during their interaction, such as when they failed to understand their partners during the communication on MOO.

When students failed to understand the meaning of their partners, German students tend to ask for a reiteration of the sentence or a paraphrase in which they try to discern the meaning. American students on the other hand, tend to ask for a translation, and often times ignore the sentences they do not understand. By trying to guess the meaning or ignoring the sentence, it shows that the American students' proficiency is not up to par with their partners in this online discourse. However, since these students are learning German as a second language the lack in proficiency is inherent.

Since the research is done in a controlled enviornment, there are many variables which are eliminated and thus the online chat between the German and American students cannot represent the online chat of people from different parts of the world. The students negotiate meaning because they are conscious of the activity in which they are participating. This causes them to have a goal, or aim. Unlike the chats which occur more often in the online gaming community, which often times the participants have no particularly strong incentive to learn and negotiate meaning in a second language, requests for repetition and paraphrase becomes less common while the American students' approach of ignoring the sentence and changing the subjects become more common.

A common reaction by individuals to others speaking a foreign language is to ignore them completely, and therefore there exists no negotiation of meaning. Therefore the results from the research in negotiation of meaning is limited to only parts of the online community and cannot be applied to all instances of online chatting.

More SL goodness

For me, the best thing to do on second life so far is playing trivia lol, as i get to joke around with the people whom i've gotten to know, and earn some money at the same time. Therefore i tend to neglect exploring SL when i log on. I went to orientation island and finding not much to do, I tried to move around on a inflatable boat i got for free, but after a while it supposedly got sent to the lost and found... which basically consisted of my screen jumping about without my character or the boat he boarded. Here was a part of the transcript for one of the trivia games i played yesterday :3 There were quite a few people there but we only had 2 or 3 playing, most were content with dancing around and possibly IMing each other. Because of that i began competing, for a while atleast, with Sabine. But she types too fast so i gave up = =

Loafing Around

I'm still getting used to second life. There are just too many odd and interesting things to do. While chatting with people i realized how they were throwing fruits and snowballs and got one for free courtesy of the person known as sinner sleeper. However the fruits cant be thrown in the place i was in unless i am one of the creators of that location, so i couldn't throw it. Heres how i got the fruit xDDDDDDDD

Exploring SL

After forgetting about SL for a week I decided to log back on and go look around. I also went to every freebie place listed in the searches in hopes of finding some free stuff. After changing my skin so it no longer looks plastered I found a place with a lot of dancing AFKs


After which I found another place with some people to talk to, though it was mostly dancing and answering trivia questions.


I ended up answering trivia along with the others as every correct question answered nets u $3. I managed to get $97 from it :D There were questions like "What country is bordered only by Spain?" and "What country in Eastern Europe has a name that means "people from Rome"?" What i did mostly was ask around about how to use the different controls and stuff. Someone gave me some dance animations so i could dance any time i wanted. I also got help answering some trivia questions which were absurdly difficult in a sense, like the trivias related to pirates. after answering trivias for a while i logged off to go to bed.

Second Life ... It's my first day

Because of the required session in second life for Online English Learning, I logged on last last wednesday, iirc at around 9:00AM with my character. I first went to freebie heaven to get some free stuff, and tried to equip my new character. After equipping a batman mask though, I couldn't take it off, and thus my face became entirely black. I tried changing everything and eventually got a plastered face.

When I joined the meeting there were some interesting exclaimations from my fellow classmates but... meh~~ no pics ;_;
