The problem investigated here is to identify which are the special features of online language of communication, within online communities of learners. To this aim, forum interactions carried out at two online modules, supporting the face-to-face one of Experimental Pedagogy and Museum Education – course of Primary Education – University Roma Tre, are analysed, taking into consideration typical aspects of asynchronous communication (Crystal, 2001). Internet allows the existence of communities made of subjects coming from all over the world, who share the same interests in learning and who can meet and grow together. Either online or not, any learning community can be referred to the one Wenger and Lave, in 1991, for the first time, called “community of practice”.

Abstract
The problem investigated here is to identify which are the special features of online language of communication, within online communities of learners. To this aim, forum interactions carried out at two online modules, supporting the face-to-face one of Experimental Pedagogy and Museum Education – course of Primary Education – University Roma Tre, are analysed, taking into consideration typical aspects of asynchronous communication (Crystal, 2001). Internet allows the existence of communities made of subjects coming from all over the world, who share the same interests in learning and who can meet and grow together. Either online or not, any learning community can be referred to the one Wenger and Lave, in 1991, for the first time, called “community of practice”.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
