Definition

What is Telecollaboartion?
Telecollaboration is defined by Julie A. Belz in the following way:

“…internationally-dispersed learners in parallel language classes use Internet communication tools such as e-mail, synchronous chat, threaded discussion, and MOOs (as well as other forms of electronically mediated communication), in order to support social interaction, dialogue, debate, and intercultural exchange.” (2003a: 1)

Robert O'Dowd precises it in Foreign Language Education as:

"The application of online communication tools to bring together classes of language learners in geographically distant locations to develop their foreign language skills and intercultural competence throught collaborative tasks and project work." (2010:Eurocall Symposium)
