Presentation Exploring the patterns of Interaction and Negotiation in Online Learning Forum to foster Learner Autonomy among English Major students more
This research critically explores how task negotiation and interaction among learners in online learning environments contribute to developing learner autonomy. By examining the patterns of these interactions and negotiations, this study aims to uncover how online learning environment, an exchange forum in the Moodle platform, either facilitates or constrains the exercise of learner autonomy. Specifically, it investigated how students’ participation in collaborative dialogues, peer-to-peer negotiations, and teacher-student interactions affects their ability to take ownership of their learning goals and decisions. The research was conducted in the short course named Global Englishes in 10 weeks with 50 English major students. Data was collected through adapted questionnaires to measure three constructs: learner autonomy perception, interaction and negotiation behavior and then analyzed by using the correlation on Spss 27 to understand the relationship among three concepts, learners’ discussion artifacts in the online forum, and an open-ended interview at the end of this course and analyzed by thematic coding based on three emerging themes: input meaning making, learner agency and collaborative learning. This research will benefit teachers and Call researchers to understand the learning behaviors in the virtual environment apart from the traditional classroom.
