In today’s world interactions between language learners take place not only in a direct form but also online. Online communication requires adequate forms of teaching, one of which can be learning through virtual exchanges. This paper shows how this form of learning allows to use the skills characteristic of online interactions defined in the CEFR Companion Volume. The research presented herein is based on data collected during a Polish-Italian virtual exchange. The quantitative and qualitative analysis of level A1 Italian students’ statements gathered during the project showed that participation in the virtual exchange was an opportunity for learners to use various skills related to online conversation and discussion defined in the CERF Companion Volume. The results also show that the number of statements created by the learners was significantly higher than the minimum necessary to complete the assigned tasks. Furthermore, the students demonstrated many online interaction skills ascribed to level A2, thus exceeding the level of their Italian language proficiency. For this reason, it can be concluded that virtual exchanges are an engaging form of learning for students, even at the beginner level, which allows them to unlock their potential for communicating in the target language with the use of online interaction skills.
