les usages de Twitter par les chercheurs et les praticiens, communauté de pratique, médias sociaux, espaces d'affinité, XRésumé
Un manque de dialogue et de collaboration entre les chercheurs et les praticiens a été reconnu dans le domaine de l’enseignement des langues secondes. Les plateformes de médias sociaux comme X/Twitter ont un potentiel pour connecter les professionnels de la communauté d’enseignement de l’anglais aux locuteurs d’autres langues (TESOL) et soutenir l’apprentissage professionnel et la recherche ; cependant, les études sur les usages de X/Twitter par les professionnels du TESOL n’ont examiné que les postes/tweets provenant d’un nombre limité de communautés marquées par des hashtags/mots-clés. Nous avons identifié 23 hashtags pertinents pour l’enseignement du TESOL aux adultes dans le contexte canadien et nous les avons utilisés comme paramètres de recherche pour extraire un ensemble de données de 4833 postes/tweets. Ensuite, nous avons sélectionné 82 professeurs d’université nord-américains qui avaient publié dans le domaine du TESOL, nous les avons recherchés sur X/Twitter, localisé 15 comptes X/Twitter, et extrait tous les 272 postes/tweets qu’ils avaient postés sur un an. Deux analyses de contenu ont été menées pour déduire le but des postes/tweets et identifier les hashtags utilisés par les professeurs. Les résultats ont révélé une variation considérable dans les usages de X/Twitter par les professeurs et les autres membres de la communauté TESOL et suggèrent que les deux groupes participent à des communautés X/Twitter plutôt séparées. Des recommandations pour maximiser X/Twitter comme outil d’apprentissage professionnel et de recherche et favoriser le lien entre la recherche et la pratique sont fournies.
