Argumentation, the process of making claims and using evidence and reasoning to support those claims, is essential to academic literacy. Collaborative argumentation is the social process of working together to construct arguments, and may benefit the development of students’ argumentation ability. How collaborative argumentation in the L2 context progresses over time is largely unknown. To address this research gap, this study adopted a qualitative approach to examine how a group of college English learners engaged in collaborative argumentation in a blended learning context over the period of a semester. Analysis of the participants’ face-to-face discussion, online collaborative writing, and interview data revealed the developmental trajectories of collaborative argumentation with regard to its structural, social, and linguistic aspects in both the face-to-face discussion and the online writing. In each phase of argumentation, students exhibited distinct features in argument structure and interaction patterns. The role of English as the second language shifted from impeding argumentation to facilitating argumentation over time. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the developmental model of students’ collaborative argumentation and influencing factors, and inform the design of tailored pedagogical scaffolds in response to the developmental stages of collaborative argumentation.

英语学习者中协作论证的进展:一项定性研究

论证是提出主张,使用证据和推理来支持这些主张的过程,对于学术素养至关重要。协作论证是共同建构论证的社会过程,可能有利于学生论证能力的发展。L2语境中的协作论证如何随着时间的推移而发展是很大程度上未知的。为了弥补这一研究空白,本研究采用定性方法来研究一组大学英语学习者在一个学期内如何在混合学习环境中进行协作论证。通过对参与者的面对面讨论,在线协作写作和访谈数据进行分析,揭示了协作论证在结构,社会,以及面对面讨论和在线写作中的语言方面。在论证的每个阶段,学生在论证结构和互动模式方面表现出鲜明的特征。随着时间的推移,英语作为第二语言的作用已从阻碍论证转变为促进论证。这些发现有助于对学生协作论证的发展模型和影响因素有更深入的了解,并为适应协作论证发展阶段的量身定制的教学支架提供了信息。随着时间的推移,英语作为第二语言的作用已从阻碍论证转变为促进论证。这些发现有助于对学生协作论证的发展模型和影响因素有更深入的了解,并为适应协作论证发展阶段的量身定制的教学支架提供了信息。随着时间的推移,英语作为第二语言的作用已从阻碍论证转变为促进论证。这些发现有助于对学生协作论证的发展模型和影响因素有更深入的了解,并为适应协作论证发展阶段的量身定制的教学支架提供了信息。
