CAWD/虛擬環境互動特徵
< CAWD
以下展示的互動特徵，基於ESL/EFL讀寫能力研究人員的個人經驗，支援虛擬環境在提高EFL學習者寫作能力和語言發展方面的潛力。此外，這些特徵將幫助EFL學習者瞭解如何將虛擬環境應用於英語寫作發展。
1) 學習者可以參與各種真實的寫作任務，面對真實的受眾。
虛擬環境基於書面語言對話工具，例如同步聊天、電子郵件和公告板。學習者一進入虛擬環境，就必須用英語進行交流或表達意見。因此，虛擬環境使EFL學習者能夠參與真實的寫作任務，面對真實的受眾。

2) 學習者從他們的夥伴那裡獲得目標語言寫作的直接或間接反饋。
反饋在語言發展中起著重要作用。然而，對於EFL學習者來說，獲得反饋並不容易，因為他們沒有太多機會使用英語，而且在學習者的環境中，精通英語的人很少。因此，虛擬環境是EFL學習者寫作和語言發展的好地方，因為它們允許EFL學習者使用英語。此外，學習者在虛擬環境中遇到的母語人士會在自然情況下和各種方式中糾正EFL學習者的英語錯誤。
A: right click on my body and you will see some options (Native speaker) B: opetions? (EFL/ESL literacy researcher) A: options (Native speaker)
I made an exam paper. (from a EFL leanrer's e-mail) -> Did you set an exam, or prepare an exam paper.(from the response of a native speaker)
3) 學習者可以學習目標語言的社會和文化，以及語言本身。
許多讀寫教育研究人員（例如Kern，2000）證明了學習目標語言社會和文化對發展讀寫能力的重要性。虛擬環境使EFL學習者能夠透過各種交流工具學習它們：同步聊天、電子郵件和公告板。
Member Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: Whitehorse, Frozen North Age: 41 Posts: 396 4 minutes of silence Four RCMP officers were shot and killed after conducting a raid on a marijuana grow operation northwest of Edmonton on Thursday. It's the single deadliest incident for Canada's national police force in 120 years. At a news conference in Mayerthorpe, RCMP Assistant Commissioner Bill Sweeney said: "As you can well imagine, the loss of four police officers is unprecedented in recent history in Canada. . . . It's devastating." He added that not since the Northwest Rebellion of 1885 have so many police officers been killed in the line of duty. (From a native speaker)
4) 學習者體驗到一種地方感，一種類似於與母語人士面對面交談的環境，因為學習者展示了他們的外表並表達了他們的感受。此外，互動更類似於人們聚集在任何地方進行社交的談話和行為。
B: can I keep in touch with you? (EFL/ESL literacy researcher) A: we have a meeting on this Sunday evening (Native speaker) A: really??? (EFL/ESL literacy researcher)
B: nice to meet you (EFL/ESL literacy researcher) A: nice dance (Native speaker) B: thanks (EFL/ESL literacy researcher)
KaiteB: do your students connect internet? (Native speaker) WangZ: Yes, but their computer skills are not good. (EFL/ESL literacy researcher) KaiteB: if so, it will be not easy because you have to teach everything in detail (Native speaker) WangZ: Do you have any good ideas? (EFL/ESL literacy researcher)
5) 當學習者建立空間時，他們對物體的所有權的感覺和環境的永續性激勵學習者返回繼續對話和社群建設。正是這種合作鼓勵學習者繼續發展他們的寫作能力。
Virtual environments look like real life places. For example, when I go back to a virtual environment, nothing has really changed. My own rooms and objects represent me, so I need to always take care of them. (From interview with an EFL/ESL literacy researcher)
