Rienties, Bart; Lewis, Tim; O'Dowd, Robert; Rets, Irina; Rogaten, Jekaterina – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2022
Several studies on Virtual Exchange (VE) have highlighted positive learning experiences, increases in technological pedagogical and content skills (TPACK) and foreign language (FL) competence. However, most VE research to date use qualitative or descriptive case-studies of how VEs have been implemented, and what "might" have worked. In…

Gi-Zen Liu; Jalil Fathi; Masoud Rahimi – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2025
Intercultural communicative competence (ICC) has recently attracted the researchers' attention in the English as a foreign language (EFL) context; however, insufficient studies seem to have examined the role of online programmes in enhancing EFL learners' ICC. The current study, therefore, employed a mixed-methods approach to explore EFL learners'…

Alghasab, Maha; Alvarez-Ayure, Claudia Patricia – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2023
Telecollaboration in the language classroom promotes both second-language development and Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC). However, previous research identified its potential limitations, including instances of failure, misunderstanding, tension, and a reluctance to participate. The current study contributes to emerging literature…

Jiang, Wei; Eslami, Zohreh R. – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2022
Although the effectiveness of computer-mediated collaborative writing (CMCW) is confirmed by many recent studies, only a few have investigated whether linguistic knowledge and writing skills learned through collaboration can be internalized and transferred to individual writing. This study uses a pre-and post-test design to investigate the impact…
