Abstract

This paper reports a comparative case study to explore the discrepancies in learning outcomes attained by two student groups in an identical CSCL activity in the language classroom and the differences in group behaviors that contributed to these discrepancies. From micro-analysis, group behaviors that are desired for language development are identified. The findings can inform future pedagogical and technological design to improve language learning in classrooms. Copyright © 2012 Asia-Pacific Society for Computers in Education.
