La mondialisation et Internet ont énormément diversifié les occasions de contact interculturel, un contact qui s’établit souvent par écrit. Ce chapitre présente la littératie comme un ensemble de pratiques cognitives, sociales et culturelles qui interagissent avec des supports matériels de l’écriture. La discussion, illustrée par des données empiriques, se centre sur quatre dimensions du rôle de la littératie dans des contextes de communication médiatisée par les ordinateurs: la venue de nouvelles formes de langue, les jeux de langue, la communication interculturelle en ligne, et la communication multimodale. Constatant que les nouvelles cultures de lecture et d’écriture dans la communication électronique sont de plus en plus caractérisées par des normes dynamiques et multiples, le chapitre conclut par une discussion des implications pour la recherche sur l’acquisition des langues secondes/étrangères.
Globalization and the Internet have greatly diversified the opportunities for intercultural contact, and this contact is very often mediated by writing. This chapter frames literacy as sets of cognitive, social, and cultural practices that interact with material technologies of writing. Four issues related to the role of literacy and technology in French language learning are reviewed and illustrated with data: new online language forms, language play, online intercultural communication, and multimodal communication. Suggesting that the new cultures of reading and writing in electronic environments are increasingly characterized by multiple, dynamic norms, the chapter concludes with a discussion of implications for research in second/foreign language acquisition.
