Abstract

The electronic mail and real-time chat data of pairs of American-Australian students were analyzed using case studies gathered from teaching projects. Distinct patterns of interaction concomitant with small group theory were observed, but with marked differences with respect to modality. Survey data revealed idiosyncratic preferences for using either e-mail or real-time chat. Analysis of the actual discourse highlights the contextual cultural difficulties such as level of language proficiency and organizational norms.
