RESUMO

This dissertation aims at checking how negotiation on educational chats works through students and teachers discourses while participants of an on-line course intended for English teachers of State schools, under the Teachers links program a PUC/SP and English Culture Association/SP partnership - in order to verify the structures of on-line negotiation in learning-teaching contexts. This study is justified by the importance taken of language use in synchronous interactions among teachers and students on digital contexts, with the intent to clarify how on-line negotiations work in order to empower the use of the internet in learning-teaching contexts of English language. The main theoretical underpinning for the research is provided by specialists in theory of systemic functional language, specially Halliday (1994), Thompson (1996), Eggins &Slade (1997) and Eggins (1994); in negotiation, by Martin (1992); in transaction, by Sinclair &Coulthard (1978); in chat in distance learning, by Collins et ali (2003), Wadt (2002) and Sabbag (2002); in construct meanings by Garrison, Anderson &Archer (2000) and Pawan et ali (2003); in collaboration by Dillenbourg (1999), Dillenbourg &Baker (1996), among others. The research questions were the following: 1) How does the interaction work among participants in the light of different dynamics? 2) How does the negotiation work in synchronous communication in a digital context? For answering them, chunks that belong to the selected chat sessions were analyzed in order to identify some structures of negotiation. An interpretive analysis of data in the light of the theories used points to eight types of negotiation structures with features of collaborative negotiations, successful interactions between teachers and students, which characterize teaching-learning of foreign language in digital classrooms contexts; but the identified types of negotiation do not point to supporting the construction of knowledge among participants. The results also suggest other studies about negotiation on educational chats using others points of view of systemic functional grammar
