Online Intercultural Exchanges Education

Project Director : Dr. Assia Baghdadi – Mohamed bou diaf University of M’sila

The Rationale

Over the last two decades, online intercultural exchanges have become a growing subject of research in the field of learning technologies and English Language Teaching (ELT). As hardware, software, and the internet have developed, so too have research approaches, learning theories, and classroom practice in this area. Accordingly, Learners can now engage in informal online exchanges outside the classroom by pursuing their own preferences and hobbies in the target language due to increased access to online communities ; and teachers are increasingly able to link learners in various parts of the world with the advent of networked computers , with the dual goal of enhancing linguistic competence and developing intercultural knowledge and skills. However, the effectiveness of an online (inter)cultural exchange project is determined by the pedagogical framework and task design—in other words, the technology’s principled pedagogical implementation—as well as relevant contextual and institutional factors.

In this regard, this International Collective Book is intended to afford foreign language educators, practitioners, and culture researchers the opportunity to introduce, discuss, and promote the exchange of their theoretical and empirical findings and expertise regarding online intercultural exchange pedagogy in a variety of perspectives. This, of course, by focusing its scope on innovative research intended to bolster L2 learners’ intercultural communicative competence that is indispensable to cope with the communication demands in the globalized era.
