Abstract Online discussion forums (ODFs), a type of computer-mediated communication (CMC), are sites of language use and multilingual practices where students communicate in web forum communities. There is limited research on the multilingual practices of students learning English for academic purposes (EAP) through ODFs. Drawing on discourse-centred online ethnography (DCOE) and discourse analysis, this article explores language alternation in one online university course. Students show agency by using languages in creative, multilingual ways when learning through technology. Although the course in question is an English language course, “semi-regulated” online discussion forums that allow language alternation and “networked” multilingualism promote peer and student-to-student interactions, resulting in fluid social relationships and challenging some of the norms of language education. Language alternation reveals the use of African languages and indexes both the expression of feelings and the cultural practices of these ODF communities. Universities are yet to implement multilingual online pedagogies that include the majority who do not speak English as a first language. Therefore, digital literacy and networked multilingualism are enabling multiple linguistic resources to challenge the “English-only” ideology.

在线论坛中的语言交替:英语单语规范性和多语言实践

摘要 在线讨论论坛 (ODF) 是一种以计算机为媒介的交流 (CMC),是语言使用和多语言实践的网站,学生可以在网络论坛社区中进行交流。关于学生通过 ODF 学习学术英语 (EAP) 的多语言实践的研究有限。本文利用以话语为中心的在线民族志 (DCOE) 和话语分析,探讨了一门在线大学课程中的语言交替。学生在通过技术学习时以创造性的、多语言的方式使用语言来展示代理。尽管所讨论的课程是一门英语课程,但允许语言交替和“网络化”多语言的“半监管”在线讨论论坛促进了同伴和学生与学生之间的互动,导致流动的社会关系并挑战语言教育的一些规范。语言交替揭示了非洲语言的使用,并为这些 ODF 社区的情感表达和文化实践建立了索引。大学尚未实施多语言在线教学法,其中包括大多数不以英语为第一语言的人。因此,数字素养和网络化的多语言正在使多种语言资源能够挑战“只用英语”的意识形态。大学尚未实施多语言在线教学法,其中包括大多数不以英语为第一语言的人。因此,数字素养和网络化的多语言正在使多种语言资源能够挑战“只用英语”的意识形态。大学尚未实施多语言在线教学法,其中包括大多数不以英语为第一语言的人。因此,数字素养和网络化的多语言正在使多种语言资源能够挑战“只用英语”的意识形态。
