This guidebook brings together the knowledge insight and experience gained by the participants
of an international telecollaborative language learning project entitled Moderating
Intercultural Collaboration and Language Learning (MICaLL). Telecollaboration is understood
here as a shared teaching and learning experience between distanced partners that is
facilitated through the use of Internet technology an area of growing interest for many
teachers. The book first provides a theoretical outline of suitable pedagogical practices for
this type of joint effort and then moves into the more practical aspects of designing setting
up implementing and evaluating telecollaborative projects. The guidebook considers relevant
questions and issues which often come up when teachers without previous experience in
telecollaboration undertake this type of enterprise. Through the realistic advice and practical
examples provided the reader will be motivated to engage in telecollaborative language
learning projects with their own pupils.
