Kajian dalam bidang penulisan menyokong aktiviti penulisan berbentuk bebas untuk membina kemahiran penulisan kepada pelajar bahasa pertama dan kedua. Penggunaan jurnal berbentuk dialog adalah salah satu aktiviti di dalam penulisan bebas yang memberi peluang pelajar meneroka dan mencuba bahasa itu sendiri. Kemunculan teknologi komputer telah memberikan kesan yang tiada tandingnya di dalam pengajaran bahasa. Kajian yang dilakukan oleh Lee (1998) dan Warschaeur (1995) menyatakan keberkesanan penggunaan mel elektronik dalam pengajaran bahasa Inggeris di mana pelajar dan pengajar boleh berkomunikasi secara formal dan tidak formal. Selain itu, mel–elektronik juga boleh digunakan untuk bertukar jurnal dialog. Tujuan kertas kerja ini ialah untuk melihat keberkesanan dari segi kuantiti dan kualiti mel–elektronik sebagai alat di dalam jurnal dialog kepada pelajar lelaki dan perempuan daripada Pusat Matrikulasi, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa teknik pengajaran ini berkesan – kesemua subjek menunjukkan peningkatan dalam kemahiran menulis. Kata kunci: Mel-elektronik; penulisan jurnal; komunikasi melalui komputer; kualiti penulisan; kuantiti penulisan Studies done in the area of composition support the notion that free writing activities help to develop confidence and efficiency among first language (Ll) and second language (L2) students. Dialogue journal writing is one of the activities in free writing that can provide students with the opportunity to explore and experiment with language. The emergence of microcomputer technology has given endless and remarkable enhancement in language teaching instruction. Studies done by Lee (1998) and Warshauer (1995) indicate the usefulness of e–mail in teaching English where teachers and students can communicate with each other through formal and informal consultation. Apart from that, e–mail can be used in exchanging dialogue journals and writing conference. The aim of this paper is to look at the effectiveness in terms of quantity and quality of e–mail as a tool in dialogue journal writing among male and female students from the Matriculation Centre in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. The result of this study revealed that this technique is effective – all subjects showed improvement in their writing skills.

An opportunity to resolve disputes as an out-of-court settlement through computer-mediated communication is usually easier, faster, and cheaper than filing an action in court. Artificial intelligence and law (AI & Law) research has gained importance in this area. The article presents a design of the E-NeGotiAtion method for assisted negotiation in business to business (B2B) relationships, which uses a genetic algorithm for selecting the most appropriate solution(s). The aim of the article is to present how the method is designed and contribute to knowledge on online dispute resolution (ODR) with a focus on B2B relationships. The evaluation of the method consisted of an embedded single-case study, where participants from two countries simulated the realities of negotiation between companies. For comparison, traditional negotiation via e-mail was also conducted. The evaluation confirms that the proposed E-NeGotiAtion method quickly achieves solution(s), approaching the optimal solution on which both sides can decide, and also very importantly, confirms that the method facilitates negotiation with the partner and creates a trusted result. The evaluation demonstrates that the proposed method is economically efficient for parties of the dispute compared to negotiation via e-mail. For a more complicated task with five or more products, the E-NeGotiAtion method is significantly more suitable than negotiation via e-mail for achieving a resolution that favors one side or the other as little as possible. In conclusion, it can be said that the proposed method fulfills the definition of the dual-task of ODR—it resolves disputes and builds confidence.

<p>While  deception  seems  to  be  a  common  approach  in  interpersonal  communication,  most examination on interpersonal deception sees the sex of the interlocutor as unconnected with the capability to notice deceptive messages. This research studies the truth and deception detection capability  of  both  male  and  female  receivers  when  replying  to  both  true  and  deceptive messages  from  both  male  and  female  speakers.  The  outcomes  indicate  that  sex  may  be  a significant variable in comprehending the interpersonal detection probabilities of truth and of lies. An interaction of variables including the speakers’ sex, receivers’ sex, and whether the message appears to be truthful or deceptive is created to relate to detection capability.</p>

A mentoring relationship is one in which an experienced person or mentor supports a less experienced person or mentee. E-mentoring is an alternative to traditional face-to-face mentoring incorporating the use of computer-mediated communication (CMC). Currently, e-mentoring is not commonly practiced by New Zealand midwives; however there is some interest in its potential especially as it may overcome geographical isolation which increases access to mentors. This chapter will describe the experiences of one New Zealand midwife who mentored two new graduate midwives in 2006 using a secure storeand- forward e-mail system. This chapter explores how CMC was utilized to facilitate the elements of the mentor’s role as well as reports on the experiences of the mentor and mentee.

This study analyzes a Japanese mobile phone e-mail data corpus (created by the researcher) of 43,295 Keitai-mail exchanged for the purpose of personal communication by 60 young people aged 18 to 30 who are familiar with Keitai-mail practices. The result shows that the Keitai-mail analyzed consists on average of approximately 40 moji (symbols) including 3 emoticons per message, showing that composition is short but not overly abrupt – generally Keitai-mail does not finish in the middle of a sentence. Non-standard textual elements, language plays (LP) such as emoticons, long vowel symbols, irregular use of small moji, and non-standard use of each type of script (e.g., use of Katakana instead of Kanji) are found to be governed by the conventions of Standard Japanese and are not totally random occurrences.

Purpose The emerging literature on computer-mediated communication at the study lacks depth in terms of elucidating the consequences of the effects of incivility on employees. This study aims to compare face-to-face incivility with incivility encountered via e-mail on both task performance and performance evaluation. Design/methodology/approach In two experimental studies, the authors test whether exposure to incivility via e-mail reduces individual task performance beyond that of face-to-face incivility and weather exposure to that incivility results in lower performance evaluations for third-parties. Findings The authors show that being exposed to cyber incivility does decrease performance on a subsequent task. The authors also find that exposure to rudeness, both face-to-face and via e-mail, is contagious and results in lower performance evaluation scores for an uninvolved third party. Originality/value This research comprises an empirically grounded study of incivility in the context of e-mail at study, highlights distinctions between it and face-to-face rudeness and reveals the potential risks that cyber incivility poses for employees.

As communication technology improves, computer-mediated communication (CMC) increases in use for interpersonal interaction. While there are newer forms of CMC that interface with audio, graphic, and video data, for the most part text-based CMC (i.e., e-mail, IRC, other text chat) remains the most common and frequently used. The increased use of text-based CMC medium is not without its problems, as is the case with any other communication media. Text only CMC lacks the capacity to transmit nonverbal cues. This study explores CMC medium in communication misunderstandings. The findings indicate that although participants acknowledge the lack of nonverbal cues as a source of misunderstandings during interactions, they still express the willingness to use text-based CMC in resolving misunderstandings. This article also provides discussions, implications, and recommendations.

Resumo: Investigar como o Movimento Negro do Estado da Paraíba se apropria dos gêneros digitais (e-mail, blog, redes sociais e etc.) e usa-os na perspectiva de disseminar a informação étnico-racial é o objetivo deste trabalho. Entendemos que os gêneros digitais podem ser utilizados como um canal de comunicação e disseminação dessa informação para os grupos negros sociais e racialmente invisibilizados na atual sociedade da informação-conhecimento-aprendizagem, onde o preconceito, a discriminação e o racismo fazem parte do seu cotidiano. A abordagem qualitativa caracteriza-se como pesquisa interpretativa com potencial descritivo e exploratório. A pesquisa bibliográfica serviu para discutirmos sobre os conceitos, a construção das categorias teóricas e o discurso do sujeito coletivo. O universo da pesquisa foi o Movimento Negro Organizado da Paraíba e os sujeitos/participantes foram quatro integrantes vinculados ao Núcleo de Estudantes Negras e Negros da UFPB e a Organização de Mulheres Negras na Paraíba. Utilizamos a entrevista semiestruturada como instrumento para a coleta dos dados cuja análise recorremos a técnica do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC) que tem por base a Semiótica de Pierce e a Teoria das Representações Sociais. Os resultados mostraram que a ferramenta mais utilizada pelo MNOPB para veicular as informações é o e-mail. O uso do blog está associado à comunicação da informação étnico-racial apreendida pelo grupo.

This study investigated the effect of peer collaborative dialogue carried out in the text-based synchronous computer-mediated communication (SCMC) on the reading comprehension of EFL female students. Additionally, the study elicited EFL students’ attitudes toward dyadic collaborative their discussions in SCMC during reading comprehension activities. The sample of the study comprised 36 Saudi EFL female students at Shaqra University. They were divided into two groups: an experimental group consisting of 18 students, forming nine pairs, to perform reading activities dialogically in Moodle and a control group of 18 students to perform reading activities individually in classrooms. The researcher used pre-post reading comprehension tests and a scale of SCMC-based dialogical collaborative reading attitudes. as research instruments to collect data. Data were analyzed using means and standard deviation, an independent sample t-test, a paired sample t-test, an Analysis of Variance test (ANOVA) and a one sample t-test. The findings revealed that there was a statistically significant improvement in the post-test average scores of the experimental group, which indicated the effectiveness of text-based dyadic collaborative dialogue on reading comprehension. Additionally, compared to other reading skills, making inferences skill was revealed to be the skill most affected by dyadic dialogues in SCMC. Besides, the participants exhibited positive attitudes toward their collaborative dialogues with peers in SCMC to foster their reading comprehension. Finally, pedagogical implementations and recommendations for future studies were suggested to explore the area of SCMC-based collaborative dialogue on language learning
