Résumé :
This article considers the potential for dissonance that one 12-year-old 
child (Clare) may experience as a text producer using new technologies, 
when working across a range of contexts. In this ongoing case study, two 
types of text are explored: a computer-generated text produced as a 
homework task for school, and texts produced using an Internet-based 
social network site called 'Bebo'. Key features of Clare's text 
production in both contexts are identified and compared in an attempt to 
establish the dissonance that may be experienced as she switches from 
one context to another. However, by placing the texts alongside each 
other, it can be seen that although they look markedly different, the 
acts of composing the texts bear some significant resemblance. The 
article concludes by suggesting that experiences of dissonance in 
relation to text production may in fact be lodged more firmly with the 
recipient of any text, when it fails to meet their social, cultural and 
linguistic expectations, than with the child composer.
