This study explores the discourse generated by English as a foreign language (EFL) learners using synchronous computer-mediated communication (CMC) as an approach to help English language learners to create social interaction in the classroom. It investigates the impact of synchronous CMC mode on the quantity of total words, lexical range and discourse functions of EFL learners’ writing from di...

This study aims to investigate certain communication dimensions to assess the impact of Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) tendencies of students on ubiquitous environments. Communication dimensions were determined as message content, message interaction, semantic of message, emotional situation, and security. Message content was used as a determiner indicator to measure the effectiveness of...

This work uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) in an electronic communication interface to improve people’s ability to focus on important communications. Many social cues that allow people to function naturally with their social networks offline are not obvious in Computer Mediated Communication (CMC). This work uses automatic social network analysis to bring some cues to CMC that foster the user’...

The Community of Inquiry (COI) theoretical framework suggests that successful higher education experiences are supported by the presence and interaction of cognitive, social and teaching elements. Since the COI model has been widely used for examining quality of asynchronous computer-mediated communication (CMC) educational interactions, its applicability to synchronous CMC interactions is rela...

The Covid-19 pandemic has demonstrated how ubiquitous and pervasive technology to support communication collaboration become in people’s lives. This article seeks provide an overview of the use computer-mediated (CMC) learning Chinese as a foreign language (CFL). authors systematically reviewed 68 empirical research articles 3 review published between 2008 2022 (early April). in-depth aims inve...

The study is about the identity construction of Italian Extreme Right groups in different Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) environments. Rhetoric Psychology and Critical Discourse Analysis joint approaches are used to analyse two websites and two newsgroups of extreme right. The results confirm Billig’s hypothesis that such groups play a dual communication strategy in Computer Mediated Com...

In this paper I examine mixed synchronous and asynchronous text-based conversations that have been carried on in the context of a computer-mediated communication (CMC) system called "Babble", which has been in use by a group of nineteen people for nearly two years. The primary goal is to explore principled ways of analyzing and characterizing conversational activity in such systems using genre ...

Computer-mediated communication (CMC) affords many CMC cues which augment the verbal content of the message: all uppercase letters, asterisks, emoticons, punctuation marks, chronemics (time-related messages) and letter repetitions, to name a few. Letter repetitions are unique CMC cues in that they appear to be a written emulation of a spoken paralinguistic cue – phoneme extension. In this study...

This article argues that existing theory and research on computer-mediated communication (CMC) provide a limited view of information-seeking behavior and proposes a conceptual model for its examination via CMC and new media. Although most CMC environments eliminate or severely reduce nonverbal and contextual information available to address uncertainty, form impressions, and develop relationshi...
