Correlation between using Netspeak standards inside closed online discussions within the same generation of students in the first then in the seventh semester

Online discussions are very important part of any e-learning system. Closed discussions are related to the teaching content and can be professor – student (P-S) or student – student (S-S), depending on who is the moderator. With rapid development of new technologies and everyday use of new communication channels such as Facebook, Skype, MSN, SMS, etc., a new form of written language called Netspeak has emerged. In order to measure the quantity of Netspeak, ten different standards have been developed that can be divided into four groups: standards related to information and communication technology (ICT), grammar and spelling (G), prosody (P) and others (O). In this paper, the authors conducted a content analysis of closed asynchronous discussions within the same generation of students in the first then in the seventh semester, measured the amount of Netspeak and investigated whether there is a correlation between the use of Netspeak at the beginning and end of the study program. The quantity and density of Netspeak standards in P-S and S-S discussions will be particularly analyzed.
