Journal/ Book Research on CMC

Books:

Computer-mediated communication : linguistic, social, and cross-cultural perspectives ed. Susan Herring Amsterdam ; Philadelphia : J. Benjamins, c1996.

Philosophical perspectives on computer-mediated communication. Ed. Charles Ess. Albany : State University of New York Press, c1996.

Technology-enhanced language learning. Michael D. Bush, editor and Robert M. Terry, associate editor ; in conjunction with the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. Lincolnwood, Ill. : National Textbook Co., c1997.

The books are a bit old, but they sound interesting and might provide some valuable basics about CMC.

Journals (available online):

- Language Learning & Technology [http://llt.msu.edu/]

This is a great resource, specialized on language education. There are also peer book and article reviews. Lots of up to date empirical studies.

- Pedagogy: Critical Approaches to Teaching Literature, Language, Composition, and Culture.

This journal is not primarily concerned with foreign language teaching but they seem to publish a lot about in technology&teaching. I found an interesting article there: Lenard, Mary, Dealing with Online Selves: Ethos Issues in Computer-Assisted Teaching and Learning.Issue 5 (1), Winter 2005. (PDF available through USC library subscription)
