Abstract FRE
Cet article présente les résultats d'une étude exploratoire pour évaluer l'utilisation de 10 étudiants post graduant d'un outil de réseaux sociaux - facebook- spécifiquement créé pour des raisons d'études.
l'étude comporte une analyse quantitative et qualitative des messages sur la page facebook et un questionnaire développé par le chercheur et vise à explorer les modèles d'utilisation de facebook en général et le potentiel pédagogique de la page.
les résultats ont démontré que les étudiants, en créant cet espace personnel et en l'utilisant pour communiquer avec leurs pairs et leurs enseignants, ont non seulement un fort sentiment d'engagement communautaire - les étudiants ont utilisé une grande variété d'outils de communication pour communiquer avec leurs pairs.
mais aussi une plus grande satisfaction de ce média comme outil efficace dans le développement de leur compétence socio-pragmatique via une interaction linguistique authentique.
