Abstract
Technology-mediated discourse—interaction between human beings through technological artifacts—has become an established part of everyday life in both social and institutional contexts since the introduction of the telephone in the late 1800s. Synchronous digital interaction became possible in the 1970s when written interaction, also known as text chat, was introduced at the University of Illinois, where it was known as Talkomatic (Grubbs, 2004), with asynchronous interaction (email) starting at around the same time (Gibbs, 2016). Email and chat interaction shifted the focus in technology-mediated teaching and research from interaction with computers to interaction through computers (Warschauer, 2003). Second language (L2) teachers and researchers saw the potential of technology-mediated interaction to provide learners with opportunities to interact with and learn from expert speakers of the target language, outside the classroom, in authentic social contexts. Participants in these digital exchanges were mostly geographically dispersed. However, as various technologies became widely available, researchers of L2 learning began to examine digital interaction from various methodological and theoretical perspectives, based on previous research on L1 (first language) and L2 learning and interaction, and adapted to the new digital L2 contexts of interest. This research spawned various new L2 learning journals that provided technology-mediated L2 learning researchers with a public scholarly outlet for their work. These include, in order of establishment, System (1973), CALICO (1983), ReCALL (1989), Computer Assisted Language Learning (1990) as well as the highly regarded public access journal Language Learning and Technology (1997).
