Call for proposals, ALSIC special issue on telecollaboration.
Submissions will be accepted in French or English. For more information, please see the link https://alsic.revues.org/2819
The studies included in this issue will:
cover the different players and bodies involved in telecollaboration projects;
focus on telecollaboration in primary, secondary and university teaching (or even outside any formal context), within the framework of multilingual and intercultural education;
relate experiences of language learning and teaching via telecollaboration and the use of synchronous and/or asynchronous tools;
opt for exchanges in tandem and/or in lingua franca;
reflect on methods of work (pooling, discussion, cooperation, working together), on negotiation of meaning and development of learning tasks, and on the link between proposed tasks and communication scenarios (Dejean-Thircuir & Mangenot, 2006);
highlight the intercultural and multilingual aspects of these exchanges and issues concerning stereotyping and conflicts of opinion (O’Dowd & Ritter, 2006) or even different educational cultures;
demonstrate the interest of approaches focused on reflexivity and (re)discovery of oneself and others under the prism of distancing implemented, for instance, by keeping logs and/or by verbal exchanges aimed at mediation and reflection (Schneider & Von der Emde, 2006).
