ENTRY 3 : Computer
mediated communication and ESL.
This week was a fun week ! I have
learned something that I knew before and thus it makes it more easier for me .
Without any further exaggeration , I would love to share a little bit of
knowledge that I have learned on Computer Mediated Communication and ESL .
What is a Computer Mediated
Communication ? A computer mediated communication ( CMC ) is a process in which
human data interaction occurs through one or more networked telecommunication
systems.
A ( CMC) interaction occurs through
various types of networking technology and software . including emails ,
instant messaging and mailing .
CMC is actually divided into
synchronous and asynchronous modes . In synchronous mode , all participants are
online at the same time while in asynchronous mode there is time constraints on
messages and responses.
There are also many advantages to
communicate via computer equipment’s. One of it is , it could be a self –
disclosure , immediacy , broaden up networks and maintain long distance
relationship . In self – disclosure users, tend to disclose more about
themselves more quickly when using this type of communication . In immediacy , life
is much more easier as everyone could access to documents , photos and videos
in a click of second . While in broader networks , people could connect with
each and other through to a face and face contact and many other more . lastly
is long distance relationship. In this , people are able to see and send those
nonverbal –cues that are lost in a letter . Computer Mediated Communication
preserve long distance relationships that in the past would have fizzled out
and died .
