The study investigates interactions between 29 tandem partners from
a German and a North American university, who met twice a week in a
text-based online environment that allowed them to communicate with
each other in real time via a computer keyboard. The analysis
focuses on learners' codeswitching, negotiation of meaning, error
correction, and the use of specific spellings and punctuation. The
data suggest that most partners complied with the principle of
reciprocity and that the non-threatening atmosphere of the MOO
encouraged them to test their hypotheses about their L2. Moreover,
the analysis revealed a noticeable increase in learners' awareness
of the target language. All students frequently engaged in
negotiation of meaning, but there was a conspicuous absence of
corrective feed-back. Contents: Electronic Discourse - Computers
and Language Learning - The Teacher Role - Negotiation of Meaning
in Real-time Online Interactions - Error Corrections in Tandem
Discourse - Codeswitching - Bilingual Conversation.
