Analysis of motivation in a web 2.0 collaborative work environment
Main Article Content
Abstract
Today’s youngsters are now dubbed “digital natives” as the first ever generation who have grown up alongside electronic and computer devices as part of their natural lifestyle. The classroom, on the other hand, seems in many ways to have been relegated to a relic of the past. Classroom computer use is not yet widespread and the use of technologies is often limited to use of the CMS for making enquiries and reference work without many interaction possibilities. The mobile phone is underused and social networking sites are still taking their nursery steps in the strictly academic world.
Nonetheless, one of the most important inputs of the web 2.0 is a totally different motivation approach in language learning. This article presents the results of a motivation study involving two student groups using surveys and social networking resources for taking the subject.Downloads
