description | This study focuses on the integration of a digital social network within a university department that teaches French as a foreign language in France and seeks to identify the conditions for the actualization of its potentialities for learning. We examine usage of the social network by 59 students and their perception of this site related to their language learning. Our analysis shows that there is little evidence of appropriation of the site as a network, but despite the lack of participation, traces of social presence are present. Although students immediately recognize the environment as a social network, usage is not regular but above all responds to the requirement of the teacher. The site is used more as a resource site for the course than as a relational platform. Its educational use does not seem to correspond to the learning objectives in a network. Issues of the social web are not sufficiently taken into account in the course design. |
