Acquiring Pragmatic and Intercultural Communicative Competences in the Digital Era
A Telecollaboration Study
About this book
This book explores second language pragmatic development and intercultural communicative competence acquisition through telecollaboration. It shows how telecollaborative environments are appropriate for the development of these two competences and how they are inextricably interrelated.
Acquiring Pragmatic and Intercultural Communicative Competences in the Digital Era draws a comparison between the effects of telecollaboration projects and traditional face-to-face instruction within the foreign language classroom for developing pragmatic competence and intercultural communicative competence. Analysis is based on research into how undergraduate Spanish learners of English engage in telecollaboration projects with first language or highly proficient speakers of English and in traditional face-to-face instruction with their Spanish partners. Using synchronous (Zoom) and asynchronous (MeWe) digital tools, the book explores the beneficial role of telecollaboration projects in second and foreign language settings, offering researchers and teachers an example of how to implement this kind of project in their language teaching practices.
