Abstract

Abstract
This qualitative, exploratory study investigated the learning opportunities and learning strategies afforded by technology-mediated tasks.  In this study, a group of English as a Second Language (ESL) learners at an American university worked together to design and create a website for potential international students who are considering studying abroad in Alaska. Through the students’ post-task reflections, the following themes surfaced: “doing something authentic and meaningful,” “working together,” “learning English,” and “building confidence.”  Within these themes, several types of language learning strategies consistently emerged through the data analysis: arranging and planning, self-evaluating, and cooperating

Abstract [Persian]

این مطالعه کیفی و اکتشافی فرصت‌های یادگیری و استراتژی‌های یادگیری ارائه شده توسط وظایف با واسطه فناوری را بررسی کرد. در این مطالعه، گروهی از زبان آموزان انگلیسی به عنوان زبان دوم (ESL) در یکی از دانشگاه های آمریکایی با یکدیگر همکاری کردند تا یک وب سایت برای دانشجویان بین المللی بالقوه ای که قصد تحصیل در خارج از کشور در آلاسکا را دارند طراحی و ایجاد کنند. از طریق تأملات دانش‌آموزان پس از تکلیف، مضامین زیر ظاهر شد: «کار معتبر و معنادار انجام دهید»، «با هم کار کردن»، «یادگیری انگلیسی» و «ایجاد اعتماد به نفس». در درون این مضامین، انواع مختلفی از استراتژی های یادگیری زبان به طور مداوم از طریق تجزیه و تحلیل داده ها پدیدار شد: ترتیب و برنامه ریزی، خود ارزیابی و همکاری.
