초록

The purpose of this paper is to investigate effective methods to facilitate interactions in on-line composition courses. This study addressed the following questions: (1) How are the interactions going in the class? (2) Which are the effective methods to increase the interactions? To achieve the goals, an on-line questionnaire has been conducted on 225 EFL students. The study found that the interactions mainly occur between learners and lecturers, between learners and contents, and between learners and LMS, and that a few of the present methods lead to a high level of interactions. Our study also found that in order to boost interactions in web-based composition classes, learners should receive encouraging comments from lecturers when lagging behind; also they should have supplementary materials or feedback from native speakers. When it comes to facilitating the interactions between learners and contents, it is necessary to provide learners with sums-up at the end of each course, or opportunities for deepening their understanding. In addition, our study found that in order to facilitate the interaction between learners and LMS, appropriate individual feedback should be given to the learners regarding their achievements, a variety of multimedia materials should be provided, and any changes in syllabus should be informed. Furthermore, teaching assistants and tutors need to respond to questions as to the lectures or technology.
