| Summary: | This research study of a mixed-mode first year English literature course on
argumentative prose essays analyzed learners' social practices and online discourse in
order to identify ways in which learners engaged with one another and with texts.
Discourse analysis provided a better understanding of the ways in which students
negotiated conflicting identities, values, and ways of thinking through the act of
composition. Findings identified aspects of the online environment that facilitated
students' acquisition of academic discourse and ways in which participation in online
discussion enabled students to become full participants in the academic community. === Education, Faculty of === Language and Literacy Education (LLED), Department of === Graduate
