L’Internet multimodal et la CMC, Saisie compréhensible, Anglais non grammatical

Abstract

CMC is a facilitating means for the rapidly acquisition of the target language but cannot operate in its social aspect where the focus is not the language item but its meaning and the message behind. The internet provides varied models of using unfixed English while EFL learners are concerned with academic English which necessitates high levels of accuracy and selection of particular
vocabulary yet not present in CMC. The multimodal internet is the source of an instable and unfixed use of English. In that, CMC provides a comprehensible input to the user by initiating a stimulating exchange but at the detriment of grammatical English. The present paper aims to discuss the constraints CMC brings to the EFL learner to direct the use more towards the academic level.
