基于微信的跨文化网络交流互动深度研究

基于微信的跨文化网络互动为外语学习者和母语学习者构建了合作学习的平台。研究从互动数量、活动设计、文化环境等三个维度进行分析,考察微信支持的跨文化交流活动中影响互动深度的因素,探讨推进互动深度的有效途径。研究发现:(1)交互数量与交互深度并无直接关联。有时交互数量多,深度互动的内容反而少。(2)活动设计对交互深度有直接影响。有具体任务的活动为深度交互创造了条件。(3)母语学习者的参与并不能直接深化互动。

A Study on Depth of Interaction in Cross-cultural Internet Communication via WeChat

Cross-cultural network communication via WeChat builds a collaborative learning platform for foreign language learners and native language speakers as well.After analyzing the interaction quantity,activity design and cultural environment,this study investigates the factors influencing the depth of interaction in cross-cultural communication activities supported by WeChat,and explores the effective ways to promote the depth of interaction.The study finds that(1)there is no direct correlation between interaction quantity and the depth of interaction.Sometimes a large number of interactions might lead to less in-depth interactions.(2)activity design has a direct impact on interaction depth.Mission-specific activities create conditions for deep interaction.(3)the participation of native language learners cannot directly deepen the interaction.
