Directory         1.     Jessica Boynton , Classroom pragmatics - online versus traditional Message 1: Classroom pragmatics - online versus traditional Date: 06-Oct-2011 From: Jessica Boynton <Jessicaboyntonisgmail.com> Subject: Classroom pragmatics - online versus traditional E-mail this message to a friend I'm having trouble finding studies that compare the sort of interactions that are endemic to traditional classrooms (primarily speaking and listening, with the teacher having immense power over the interaction) to those that tend to emerge in online classes (primarily writing and reading, with a strong emphasis on collaboration between students and individualized student engagement). Can anybody recommend some sources, whether they be case studies or overarching analyses? My linguistic training is primarily in anthropological linguistics rather than pragmatics, so I apologize if this turns out to be a naive question. I'm actually trying to prepare an online linguistic anthropology course and figured I might as well extend my expertise in order to better design it. I will post a summary of responses in a timely manner.
