초록
The purpose of this study is to examine task-based, synchronous computer- mediated communication among EFL learners in Korea. The research questions are how learners engage in negotiation of meaning when a communication problem arises, and whether the task type affects the negotiation of meaning. Eighteen students from a college English class were asked to carry out two sets of four different types of tasks in dyads using a chat program. The results show that students do negotiate meaning when non-understanding occurs, though the negotiation rates are lower than those reported from previous studies(Peterson, 2006; Smith, 2003). The greatest number of negotiation turns occurred in the decision making tasks, followed by discussion, picture sequence, and grammar-based tasks. The statistical analysis results show that the task type affects the amount of negotiation.
