The Relationship between Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) and Willingness to Communicate (WTC)

Computer-Mediated-Communication (CMC) and Willingness-to-Communicate (WTC) have been paid thorough attention and been put to numerous investigations in L2 acquisition literature. What seems lacking is a study into how these two concepts are related. The present study investigates the role of CMC in promoting learners' WTC both inside and outside the classroom. Among other factors, it was found that learners' feel for privacy and their need to convey their emotions played major roles in their judging about CMC, their willing to employ CMC and consequently their WTC. It was concluded that introducing CMC into language classrooms as a means to communicate inL2, both inside and outside the classroom, promotes learners' WTC as far as it guarantees learners' privacy and assures them of effectiveness of CMC in conveying their emotions and puts them at a safe position in their computer-base contacts as a means to facilitate their emotional revelations.
