Özet:

 

This research investigated discourse patterns in online discussion forums, a  asynchronous type of computer-mediated communication. 110 messages were  collected from the online discussion forums designed specifically for an English  course taken by the e- distance learning program students at MARA University of  Technology, Malaysia. The online forum allows students in this program to  communicate with their fellow classmates, lecturers and other e-distance learning  students. The content of the messages were mainly about classes, exams,  documentations, assignments to be submitted and rarely about everyday life. The  messages sent by the students when communicating with their classmates and  lecturers were analyzed based on Muysken typology of code-mixing. It was  revealed three main codes; Malay, Arabic and English were used by the  participants in the online forum. This study hopes to provide useful information  about language patterns and styles of writing among the students in the discussion  forums which can be helpful for classroom practitioners. In addition, the result of  this research will be of value for the development of studies in the area of  computer-mediated communication.
