Abstract
ORTIZ NAVARRETE, Mabel and FERREIRA CABRERA, Anita. Proposing a Wiki-Based Technique for Collaborative Essay Writing. profile [online]. 2014, vol.16, n.2, pp.185-198. ISSN 1657-0790. https://doi.org/10.15446/profile.v16n2.38877.
This paper aims at proposing a technique for students learning English as a foreign language when they collaboratively write an argumentative essay in a wiki environment. A wiki environment and collaborative work play an important role within the academic writing task. Nevertheless, an appropriate and systematic work assignment is required in order to make use of both. In this paper the proposed technique when writing a collaborative essay mainly attempts to provide the most effective way to enhance equal participation among group members by taking as a base computer mediated collaboration. Within this context, the students' role is clearly defined and individual and collaborative tasks are explained.
Keywords : Collaborative writing; essay writing; wiki environment.
