大多数分配给二语学习者的写作任务倾向于针对抽象的读者，所生成的写作不是为了真实的或有意义的目的。Web 2.0概念的出现创造了一个潜在的教育环境，学生只需点击鼠标就可以接触到广泛分布的真实观众。本研究探讨了在以任务为基础的计算机为媒介的环境中，以真实的读者为目标对二语学习者英语写作动机的影响。通过半结构化的访谈，三角与学生基于网络的项目工作和参与者的观察，学生的看法在写作和动机，以提高他们的写作进展进行了评估。访谈数据的分析表明，学生的动机，专注于句子的复杂性和多样性，并从事词汇的自主学习，努力沟通的信息，他们认为是重要的。定性结果还表明，参与者的观众意识和主人翁意识的提高，通过参与这种基于任务的，计算机介导的方法。
The majority of writing tasks assigned to second language (L2) learners tend to target an abstract audience and the writing generated is not meant for real or meaningful purposes. The emergence of Web 2.0 concepts has created a potential educational environment where students have access to a widely distributed, authentic audience with a simple click of the mouse. This study examines the impact that targeting an authentic audience within a task-based, computer-mediated environment may have on L2 learner motivation toward English as a second language (ESL) writing. Student perceptions on progress in writing and on motivation to improve their writing were assessed through a semi-structured interview, triangulated with student web-based project work and participant observation. Analysis of interview data reveals that students were motivated to focus on sentence complexity and variety and engaged in the autonomous learning of vocabulary in an effort to communicate information they perceived to be important. The qualitative results also indicate that the participants' awareness of audience and sense of ownership were raised through engagement in this task-based, computer-mediated approach.
