Abstract
This article reviews the literature on the implementation of computer-mediated communication (CMC) in language learning. This review aims at understanding how CMC environments have been implemented to foster language learning. The review draws on 40 recent research articles selected form 10 peer-reviewed journals, 2 book chapters and one conference proceeding. This review investigates the studies that have dealt with the CMC environments used for language learning. It reviews the studies that have explored the benefits of CMC in language learning; factors affecting the use of CMC in language learning, and current CMC environments used for language learning (such as emails, wikis, YouTube, Facebook). Only peer-reviewed articles have been selected. The review discusses the findings of these studies and suggests guidelines for future research studies in this area. It concluded that further studies are necessary to investigate how language teachers can integrate CMC environments and organize suitable tasks. Also, further studies are necessary to determine the principles that are required to implement CMC in language learning.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
