A Study on Hong Kong University Students’ Communicative Awareness of Chinese Practical Writing in Web-based Learning Community

Abstract

The study investigates the awareness of university students on elements of effective communication in Chinese practical writing. These include role of authors and readers, tenor, communication rules, aims, objectives, text genres, text structure, media, messages, situations, environments and gatekeepers. The results indicate that university students are more aware of the role of authors and readers, and the objectives when they use LearningSpace to communicate.

根據研究，有效的傳意有十三項元素，包括作者身分、讀者身分、傳意目的、傳意目標、傳意媒介、傳意文類、傳意結構、傳意環境、傳意場合、傳意語調、傳意契約、傳意訊息以及把關人等。本文以這十三項傳意元素作為評核標準，分析香港大學生在網路學習社群的傳意識覺。
