Exploratory Learning Environments

Computer-based learning environments have been defined as settings where students use software to facilitate active, exploratory learning. We distinguish between illocutionary and non-illocutionary learning environments: the computer interprets the intent of students in the former but not in the latter. We apply these terms to language learning environments, and report descriptive research on ESL students' use of a non-illocutionary learning environment. Results indicated students “explored” the learning environment in a routine way, but failed to explore creatively the program's morphosyntactic possibilities; routine exploration was positively related to attitudes for part of the group, but negatively related to attitudes for students who may have found the software environment too easy. Implications for illocutionary and non- illocutionary learning environments are discussed.
