Lesson plan Topic: Сomputer-Mediated Communication (cmc) Aims

Activity 4

Read the information. Then the group A - create the text for Oral language, the group B – for CMC language, the group C- for written language. At the end each group should present their texts.

Oral language	CMC language	Written language
Shorter segments	Short, partial utterances	Longer discourse
Incomplete syntax	Incomplete syntax, but more complex than speech	(More) formal syntax
"Online" processing (planning, speaking, and listening happen all at once), "text" is transient	Planning time and text available for review; some lag-time between turns, some overlap between contributions made by different participants	Planning, "text" remains available for review
Clarification is possible through interaction	Clarification is possible but not guaranteed; clarification of meaning is possible, but may take several turns	No (immediate) clarification of meaning possible

Home task

Write the explanations (comments) on the two points below.
The study on computer mediated communication can be taken in two ways:

1. 
   The role taken by the computers in day to day interactions and relationship building.
   
2. 
   Use of language in CMC to keep a track of organisational tasks, and the way emotions and sympathies of the people are affected through CMC.
