计算机辅助交流(CMC)技术已经开始在外语/第二语言(L2)教学中发挥越来越重要的作用。越来越多的CMC研究强调了在二语习得过程中意义的协商和基于计算机的互动的重要性(Chapelle，1998；Payne&Whitney，2002)。最近的研究也指出了情境认知(Brown，Collins，&Duguid，1989)和任务型活动(Doughty&Long，2003)的重要性，使学生能够在有意义的语境中为特定目的而习得语言。本文将介绍各种CMC技术，并对其在任务型外语学习活动中的应用进行评析。首先，将定义和讨论连接的一般问题(例如，有线、无线和红外线技术；拨号与宽带等)。然后将描述和评估各种异步和同步CMC技术，指出它们在第二语言学习环境中使用的优点和缺点。然后，作者对有线和无线环境中基于任务的语言学习活动的使用进行了比较和对比。文章最后对实施这些技术所面临的挑战(例如，可获得性、兼容性、财务考虑)、这些问题的一些可能的解决方案以及对未来使用这些技术以增强第二语言学习体验的一些设想进行了全面的讨论。
Computer-mediated communication (CMC) technologies have begun to play an increasingly important role in the teaching of foreign/second (L2) languages. Its use in this context is supported by a growing body of CMC research that highlights the importance of the negotiation of meaning and computer-based interaction in the process of second language acquisition (SLA) (Chapelle, 1998; Payne & Whitney, 2002). Recent research has also pointed out the importance of situated cognition (Brown, Collins, & Duguid, 1989) and the use of taskbased activities (Doughty & Long, 2003) to allow students to acquire language in meaningful contexts for specific purposes. In this paper, various CMC technologies will be described and critically evaluated for their possible applications in task-based foreign language learning activities. First, general issues of connectivity will be defined and discussed (e.g., wired, wireless, and infrared technologies; dial-up vs. broadband, etc.). Then various asynchronous and synchronous CMC technologies will be described and evaluated, pointing out their strengths and drawbacks for use in a L2 learning environment. The authors then compare and contrast the use of a task-based language-learning activity within wired versus wireless environments. The paper concludes with an overall discussion that focuses on the challenges facing the implementation of these technologies (e.g., accessibility, compatibility, financial considerations), some possible solutions to those problems, and some speculation about future uses of these technologies to enhance the L2 learning experience.
