Reflection on the reading
After reading the article "Language Learner Behaviour in a Virtual Environment" by Jannie Roed, I think it may be true that the students will be less inhibited when they talk online. However, the use of language may be an obstacle for them because my students are really weak in English. They are inhibited by the language rather than the mode of communication. Of course, comparing with face-to-face communication in English, virtual world may be a good place for them to practise their English.

For some students it could be the only place where they will be able to practise their English, or any other language for that matter. The article was a bit dated. I am sure computers are far more commonplace now. I have never tried it but a conference call in SKYPE might be a way for many students to chatter away in real time. Further the price is right. SKYPE to SKYPE calls are free !
