CAWD/虚拟环境交互特征
< CAWD
以下展示的交互特征，基于ESL/EFL读写能力研究人员的个人经验，支持虚拟环境在提高EFL学习者写作能力和语言发展方面的潜力。此外，这些特征将帮助EFL学习者了解如何将虚拟环境应用于英语写作发展。
1) 学习者可以参与各种真实的写作任务，面对真实的受众。
虚拟环境基于书面语言对话工具，例如同步聊天、电子邮件和公告板。学习者一进入虚拟环境，就必须用英语进行交流或表达意见。因此，虚拟环境使EFL学习者能够参与真实的写作任务，面对真实的受众。

2) 学习者从他们的伙伴那里获得目标语言写作的直接或间接反馈。
反馈在语言发展中起着重要作用。然而，对于EFL学习者来说，获得反馈并不容易，因为他们没有太多机会使用英语，而且在学习者的环境中，精通英语的人很少。因此，虚拟环境是EFL学习者写作和语言发展的好地方，因为它们允许EFL学习者使用英语。此外，学习者在虚拟环境中遇到的母语人士会在自然情况下和各种方式中纠正EFL学习者的英语错误。
A: right click on my body and you will see some options (Native speaker) B: opetions? (EFL/ESL literacy researcher) A: options (Native speaker)
I made an exam paper. (from a EFL leanrer's e-mail) -> Did you set an exam, or prepare an exam paper.(from the response of a native speaker)
3) 学习者可以学习目标语言的社会和文化，以及语言本身。
许多读写教育研究人员（例如Kern，2000）证明了学习目标语言社会和文化对发展读写能力的重要性。虚拟环境使EFL学习者能够通过各种交流工具学习它们：同步聊天、电子邮件和公告板。
Member Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: Whitehorse, Frozen North Age: 41 Posts: 396 4 minutes of silence Four RCMP officers were shot and killed after conducting a raid on a marijuana grow operation northwest of Edmonton on Thursday. It's the single deadliest incident for Canada's national police force in 120 years. At a news conference in Mayerthorpe, RCMP Assistant Commissioner Bill Sweeney said: "As you can well imagine, the loss of four police officers is unprecedented in recent history in Canada. . . . It's devastating." He added that not since the Northwest Rebellion of 1885 have so many police officers been killed in the line of duty. (From a native speaker)
4) 学习者体验到一种地方感，一种类似于与母语人士面对面交谈的环境，因为学习者展示了他们的外表并表达了他们的感受。此外，互动更类似于人们聚集在任何地方进行社交的谈话和行为。
B: can I keep in touch with you? (EFL/ESL literacy researcher) A: we have a meeting on this Sunday evening (Native speaker) A: really??? (EFL/ESL literacy researcher)
B: nice to meet you (EFL/ESL literacy researcher) A: nice dance (Native speaker) B: thanks (EFL/ESL literacy researcher)
KaiteB: do your students connect internet? (Native speaker) WangZ: Yes, but their computer skills are not good. (EFL/ESL literacy researcher) KaiteB: if so, it will be not easy because you have to teach everything in detail (Native speaker) WangZ: Do you have any good ideas? (EFL/ESL literacy researcher)
5) 当学习者创建空间时，他们对物体的所有权的感觉和环境的持久性激励学习者返回继续对话和社区建设。正是这种合作鼓励学习者继续发展他们的写作能力。
Virtual environments look like real life places. For example, when I go back to a virtual environment, nothing has really changed. My own rooms and objects represent me, so I need to always take care of them. (From interview with an EFL/ESL literacy researcher)
