COLLABORATION AND NEGOCIATION OF MEANING

Collaboration

This term is related to the work groups of people in a specific topic, it could be in small or large amount of people that are searching a common objective. It's easy to identify input and output opportunities to improve skills in students and, for do this, we have to inculcate an appropriate motivation. This motivation can be set on: individualistic, cooperative and competitive, could vary in each student. Stimulating interactive activities could clarify communication, because it encourages students to solve task and take decisions about the work.

Collaboration and negotiation of meaning

A good interaction and bidirectional conversation (learners – teachers, and learners – peers) is the main idea; but talking about CALL this change a little because here, the interaction is between the computer and the students.

- Promoting awareness and skill development Is necessary to promote it because it fills individual and group needs. Also gives us an idea of the language level acquisition.

- Achieving pedagogical objectives The pedagogical objectives are responsibility of the teachers, experts guide is necessary to establish inportant aspects like solving problems.

- Promoting language acquisition. An exchange of clear information is possible through adaptability, because coordination, interpersonal communication and desicions making need to work together.

STRUCTURING COLLABORATION

We must be clear in two terms to understand this, there are two learning types: IMPLICIT, is the acquisition under a pre-determined structure and EXPLICIT, is a conscious operation in which learners are looking for an appropriate structure of learning. Collaborative learning is a cognitive process and it is a complete fact and cooperation requires a level of coordination on order to complete a task, that's why we need that the software contain implicit motivation instead the explicit one. Understanding this, we could explain that choosing of good material is based on adaptation. In modern education, this tool is useful and is part of a daily routine because it allows us to get in contact over the world. And how we can establish this as a daily routine? Just implementing it as habits, motivating social contact inside the classroom.

Some important benefits of using CALL in learning process are:

- Public: because we can share the competence to others and to us. - Blind: share the knowledge to others. - Hidden: we can understood it completely, but not shared to others. - Unconscious: nobody knows.
