Abstract

HARTMANN, Fernando. Analysis of an internet pedagogical forum of discussion. Educ. Real. [online]. 2011, vol.36, n.03, pp.781-797. ISSN 0100-3143.

Under new provision to distance learning devices, new pedagogical communication forms arise founded with the use of Internet networks that interrogate linguistics and pedagogy. These arguments justify an examination of language use in these new forms of dialogue. It focus on teaching practice that privileged the online interaction and the creation of a learning community. The analysis shows that in a closed discussion forum with educational goals, like the forchat, the forms of marked reported speech are very frequent. Moreover, it was also possible to confirm the feeling of community membership, the gradual increase in the use of second person and the frequent use of factual elements equal to those used in informal conversations.

Keywords : Pedagogical Forum; Learning Community; Pedagogical Discourse; Discourse Analysis; Distance Education.
