This volume provides a state of the art overview of Online
Intercultural Exchange (OIE) in university education and
demonstrates how educators can use OIE to address current
challenges in university contexts such as internationalisation,
virtual mobility and intercultural foreign language education.
Since the 1990s, educators have been using virtual interaction to
bring their classes into contact with geographically distant
partner classes to create opportunities for authentic
communication, meaningful collaboration and first-hand experience
of working and learning with partners from other cultural
backgrounds. Online exchange projects of this nature can contribute
to the development of learner autonomy, linguistic accuracy,
intercultural awareness, intercultural skills and electronic
literacies. Online Intercultural Exchange has now reached a stage
where it is moving beyond individual classroom initiatives and is
assuming a role as a major tool for internationalization,
intercultural development and virtual mobility in universities
around the globe. This volume reports qualitative and quantitative
findings on the impact of OIE on universities in Europe and
elsewhere and offers comprehensive guidance on using OIE at both
pedagogical and technological levels. It provides
theoretically-informed accounts of Online Intercultural Exchanges
which will relevant to researchers in Computer Assisted Language
Learning, Computer-Mediated Communication, or Virtual Education.
Finally, contributors offer a collection of practitioner-authored
and practically-oriented case studies for the benefit of teachers
of foreign languages or in other subject areas who wish to engage
in developing the digital literacy and intercultural competences of
their learners.
