Computer-Mediated Communication in Second Language Acquisition - LING968

This unit will introduce students to the application of computer-mediated communication (CMC) in second language acquisition.

Particular emphasis will be placed on the role of CMC in intercultural learning processes. Assessment will be ongoing and it will include practical as well as more theoretical components.
