Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article reports on results from an ethnographic study of student interaction at a design school. The aim of the article is to explore the relation between communicative affordances, mode choices and coherence strategies in multiplex communicative ecologies. This is done through a focus on the choices made when initiating conversations in this setting. First the complete communicative ecologies of three international students in the design school are mapped, in order to demonstrate the options available, and focus is then turned to in-group interaction in particular. It is shown that the choices made can be related to the communicative affordances of the tools and the environments in relation to different considerations regarding attention. Whose attention do you want? When do you want attention and what kind of attention do you need? Can you get the attention of the other through the mode of your choice, and is now a good time to do so? In this discussion, also the physical location of the participants is taken into account. Furthermore, it is suggested how balanced awareness can be of relevance for coherent conversation initiation, and suggestions for design are presented.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of the current article is to discuss opportunities and challenges with employing text-based interaction in the language classroom. These issues are addressed in relation to empirical data from a Swedish upper secoondary school, where students of English interact with a teacher (the researcher) in instant messaging. In order to gain a detailed picture of the interactional processes, data from chat logs are complemented with screen recordings, keystroke logging data and data from eye tracking. It should be noted that the current article cannot give a comprehensive account of all relevant phenomena and previous research, but rather some identified pattems will be highlighted and discussed.
