Series: Critical Approaches and Innovations in Language Teacher Education

This exploration of telecollaboration (or virtual exchange) studies in language teacher education considers its potential role in preparing teachers to work in linguistically and culturally diverse settings.

More and more language teacher educators are using telecollaboration as an essential component in their courses in order to connect teacher candidates from different geographical locations and ethnolinguistic backgrounds. Part I looks at the foundation of telecollaboration in language teacher education. Part II includes empirical evidence and global case examples related to telecollaboration to illustrate the benefits and challenges of incorporating telecollaboration to support interaction between the non-native speakers. Finally, Part III provides insights into employing telecollaboration for intercultural professional development. This book explores teacher candidates’, teachers’, and teacher educators’ professional learning, identities, and ideologies during their participation in transnational telecollaborative projects.

The themes it deals with- of access to international experiences in digital environments and the impact of telecollaboration on identity development and professional preparation - are important in the current educational landscape. Drawing on transnational contexts, Telecollaboration in Language Teacher Education reaffirms the potential of virtual exchange initiatives as a social equalizer.' * Nataly Tcherepashenets, State University of New York, Empire State University, USA * 'This timely volume provides a compelling exploration of telecollaboration as a transformative approach in language teacher education. Drawing on diverse international case studies, it offers insightful guidance on designing and implementing telecollaboration activities that foster intercultural communication and reflective practice. It fills a gap in the literature by linking telecollaboration to student outcomes, teacher-education agenda and teacher professional identity formation.
