In this paper, we focus on the organization of activities that produce graphical representations on the shared whiteboard of a CSCL system with dual interaction spaces called VMT Chat, and the ways those representations are used as interactional resources by small groups during their collaborative math problem solving work. In particular, we will investigate how actions performed in one medium ...

Wearable computers are the most recent generation of portable machines. Worn on the body, they provide constant access to computing and communications resources. In general, a wearable computer may be defined as a computer that is subsumed into the personal space of the user, controlled by the wearer and has both operational and interactional constancy, i.e. is always on and always accessible [...

Abstract This paper is positioned at the interface of second/foreign language (L2) assessment and Conversation Analysis-Second Language Acquisition (CA-SLA). It explores challenges ratability in assessing interactional competence (IC) from three dimensions: an overview conceptual terminological convergence/divergence CA-SLA L2 literature, a micro-analytic Analysis test-taker interactions, opera...

Our research is focused on analysing how users perceive different mediums of advertisements on their mobile devices. Such advertisements are also called locationbased advertisements (LBA’s) as they relay brand and product information to mobile phones that are in the vicinity. We investigated two different ways of presentation marketing information (static vs. interactive). Our results clearly s...

The elaboration of the theoretical notion of communicative competence reflects a growing awareness of the importance of pragmatic knowledge in achieving mastery of a second language. Such awareness includes the recognition that teaching language effectively includes teaching culture in the most fundamental sense. Using the framework of interactional sociolinguistics to link theoretical work on ...

Data were collected from 255 students taking a business course at in southern China. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that while family financial hardship caused by was ma...

This paper considers the construction of machine vision systems for tracking interaction, informed by work from the human sciences1. The emphasis is on the construction of what we refer to as ‘global level systems’ or ‘global systems’ for short, which treat the unit of interaction as being relatively large (e.g. the script for a greeting, proceeding from an initial distant salutation to the fin...
