Abstract

The last section revisits the genesis of this book. This book, titled beyond brainstorming, concentrates on exploring how and why the use of a representational tool in the L2 classroom can support productive interactions. The book provides insights on computer-supported collaborative Chinese second language learning in networked classroom environments from theoretical, practical, and methodological aspects. Drawn from the findings of the case study, this chapter summarizes suggestions about the appropriation of representational tools in L2 learning. The book is concluded with the imitations of such a kind of microanalytical study and directions for future research and implementation.
