چکیده

برای بهبود یادگیری توجه به محیط آموزشی رویکردی نوین در آموزش زبان محسوب می‌شود. این پژوهش می‌کوشد تاثیر سه محیط آموزشی را بر پیشرفت مهارت نوشتاری زبان آموزان از منظر روانی متن بررسی کند. پژوهشگران، چهار گروه آموزشی نوشتاری طراحی کردند؛ سه گروه تجربی ( گروه رو در روی دو نفری 21 نفر، گروه غیر همزمان رایانه‌ای 20 نفر و گروه رو در روی فردی 26 نفر) و یک گروه شاهد 16 نفر. بر اساس نمرات آزمون تعیین سطح آکسفورد 83 نفر در این تحقیق شرکت کردند. گروه‌های تجربی، در معرض آموزش مهارت نوشتن بر اساس شیوه داربست-محور قرار گرفتند.نتایج حاصل از روش تحلیل واریانس یک طرفه موید موفقیت گروه آزمایشی رو در روی دو نفره در پیشرفت مهارت نوشتاری از نظر روانی متن در مقایسه با سایر گروهها بود که نشانگر اهمیت رویکرد همکوشی است. بنابراین شایسته است معلمان با اتخاذ رویکرد همکوشی برای افزایش مهارت نوشتاری زبان آموزان برنامه‌ریزی کنند و برای تغییر شرایط در جهت ارتقاء بهره‌مندی مناسب در راستای اهداف آموزشی از کارهای گروهی استفاده نمایند.

چکیده [English]

The present study was an attempt to investigate the significance of environmental changes on the development of writing in EFL context with respect to the individual and compared impacts of collaboration, asynchronous computer mediation (ACM), and individual learning on the writing fluency of EFL learners. To this end, four intact writing classes were designated as Collaborative Face to Face group, Asynchronous Computer Mediation group, Individual Face to Face and Control group. The three experimental groups received scaffolding instructions on narrative essays. The three mentioned groups went through the working in pairs (CFFG), working asynchronously through a researcher-designed website (ACMG), and working individually in a conventional classroom setting (IFFG). The results showed that CFFG improved in terms of fluency and positive impact of Collaborative approach over the ACMG and IFFG. The findings emphasized the benefits of pair work and showed that learners working in pairs were more fluent in their writing.
