This paper aims to explore how language instructors teach with a synchronous multimodal setup (Skype). It reports on findings from research which evaluated how teachers use technologies to enable them to work in distance learning contexts. A total of 124 teachers (86 female and 38 male), offering online private lessons, were asked to complete a survey in which they were asked to describe the advantages and disadvantages of Skype, as well as to enumerate functions they consider are missing in this tool. They were also invited to share their opinions about most efficient models of language learning and teaching. The results show Skype is, on the whole, judged by teachers as a valuable tool in the context of distance language learning. Its use in teaching, nevertheless, has some limitations, which stem from various factors, such as IT infrastructure weaknesses (e.g. interrupted connections), lack of some functions (e.g. supervising the content of the learner’s screen) or the specific nature of contact with the interlocutor (the lack of a possibility to interact in a common space).

This paper reports the results of a small, longitudinal study involving a group of Japanese elementary school students (N = 29) involved in exploratory research using foreign language activities, including two Skype exchanges between these students and students in Australia. The purpose of the research was to test for the impact of a series of Skype exchange activities with students in Australia on Japanese elementary school students’ affective variables toward EFL. The results show that the students had statistically significant increases in foreign language activities, international posture, and motivation. This tech-based language activity arguably supplied compelling comprehensible input. The student participation in the preparations leading up to the exchanges would have encouraged them to work diligently to be able to speak so as to be understood. The results are discussed regarding future directions in this line of research.

Artykuł opisuje wykorzystanie komunikatora internetowego Skype w podtrzymywaniu kontaktu osób pozbawionych wolności z bliskimi. Z analizy zgromadzonych w Biurze Rzecznika Praw Obywatelskich danych wynika, że jednostki penitencjarne dysponują odpowiednimi możliwościami technicznymi do korzystania z tej formy komunikacji społecznej. Spotkania on-line osadzonych z rodziną nabrały szczególnego znaczenia w czasie pandemii Covid-19. W publikacji wskazano na możliwość korzystania ze środków komunikacji elektronicznej przez skazanych, jak i trudności w dostępie do tych form ze strony tymczasowo aresztowanych. Zwrócono również uwagę na generalny dostęp więźniów do stron internetowych.
