Description: |
This pedagogical corpus, its resources and tasks
have been designed for pre-service language teachers and teacher trainers.
The majority of resources are in English. However, the multimodal
transcriptions of the interaction tracks from the French-as-a-foreign
language group LS are in French. It is possible to do the all of the
activities in this corpus without using these six resources if necessary.
For activity 2.2 you will simply focus on the transcriptions of the
English-as-a-foreign-language group ES rather than both the ES and LS
groups.
Objectives: identify and code textchat's different
discursive functions when used in a multimodal environment; summarise
differences in the use of the textchat by two different student workgroups;
identify and code different types of corrective feedback that were provided
in the textchat by the tutor and the students; summarise patterns of use of
the textchat for feedback; identify whether, given the multimodal nature of
the synthetic world environment, students could deal with multiple
communication channels, and were able to respond to feedback in the textchat
This pedagogical corpus focuses on data from the
"Building Fragile Spaces" course that formed part of the European Lifelong
Learning Archi21 project. The course was organised as a five-day intensive
design studio for students of architecture that adopted a Content and
Language Integrated Learning approach. The architectural focus of the design
studio was the design and fabrication of the immersive environment in Second
Life for the Archi21 project. 'Building Fragile Spaces' involved eight
female and nine male students, aged between 21 years and one month and 25
years and 8 months. Students ranged from first year undergraduates to second
year Masters' students. French was the mother tongue of nine of the
seventeen students. The mother tongues of the remaining eight were: Spanish,
Chinese, Italian, Korean and Arabic. The participants were divided into four
workgroups. This division was thematic and linguistic: each workgroup
received a different architectural brief and had a dominant second language.
Two workgroups, studying the themes of '(e)spaces' (GE) and 'scenarios' (GS)
in Second Life had English as their target language (ESL) and two groups
studying the themes of 'avatars' (GA) and 'land+scapes' (GL) had French as
their target language (FLE). One French and one English language tutor
participated in the course alongside a French architecture tutor and an
American architecture tutor. The students and the architecture tutors were
co-present in the physical classroom. However, the English and French
language tutors met with the students inworld, connecting to Second Life at
a distance.
