The paper presents the results of a telecollaborative project between BA students of the University of Warsaw and students of the University of Valladolid within the framework of the European Erasmus+ EVALUATE project. The aim of that project is to justify the effectiveness of telecollaborative activities for professional development of future language teachers. The experience confirms that initial intercultural competence is essential for undertaking such a project. It also validates the need for blending professional preparation of language teachers so that they realize that the teaching methods and pedagogical approaches which are introduced in their pre-service courses are very similar or even the same irrespectively where they get their qualifications. Such blended learning activities are complementary to national teacher training programs and to Erasmus+ students exchange projects.

Artykuł opisuje badanie przeprowadzone w ramach projektu „Język polski ponad granicami”, realizowanego przez UMCS na zlecenie NAW-y, w którym polscy studenci współpracowali na odległość z Brazylijczykami polskiego pochodzenia. Celem badania była weryfikacja telewspółpracy jako metody nauczania ułatwiającej nabywanie języka i kultury ojczystej w warunkach izolacji geograficznej. Badanie przeprowadzono z wykorzystaniem metody studium przypadku, gdzie jeden z komponentów projektu – „Klinika języka polskiego” – dostarczył danych umożliwiających ocenę interakcji oraz zmian w świadomości językowej uczestników. Badanie pokazało zmiany w korzystaniu z języków obcych w trakcie trwania projektu – na początku brazylijscy uczestnicy używali języka angielskiego jako lingua franca, a stopniowa zmiana na język polski wskazuje na zwiększający się poziom umiejętności językowych, wzrastającą motywację i zmniejszający się lęk. W przypadku polskich studentów, badanie ukazało zwiększoną świadomość językową oraz rolę poprawnej artykulacji i intonacji w komunikacji na odległość.

This paper reports on a study conducted during the implementation of the Polish language and culture promotion project, run by Maria Curie-Skłodowska University and financed by the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange. In this project, Polish students were involved in telecollaboration with Brazilians from the Ijui region. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibilities of arranging heritage language acquisition through telecollaboration via social media. Due to the isolation of many communities, telecollaboration can be a useful method facilitating heritage language and culture acquisition across the world. This article used the case study method, in which the “Language Clinic” component of the project was taken under detailed scrutiny. The project showed language shift and translanguaging as it happened-initially, the students from Brazil used English as a lingua franca and as a classroom language; however, once they grew more confident, they replaced English with Polish as the target language. For Polish student assistants, participation in the project brought about many benefits: increased orthophonic awareness, gaining an understanding of how careless articulation and inappropriate intonation of the utterance may lead to communication breakdown.

The article presents the benefits of virtual exchanges/telecollaboration in higher education. Telecollaboration is a form of virtual mobility which can complement or substitute physical mobility. Taking part in virtual exchanges brings benefits which are in line with the recent European recommendations on education. Importantly, telecollaboration requires lower financial outlays and less time comparing to participation in physical exchanges. Thus, its implementation allows the development of various competences (linguistic, digital, intercultural, etc.) despite students’ economic and personal situation. The second part of the study presents a Polish-Italian virtual exchange conducted in the 2018/2019 academic year between the Marie Curie-Skłodowska University and the University of Turin. During the exchange learners of Polish and learners of Italian played the role of their mother tongue teachers. The research aimed to determine whether such a structure of virtual exchange is possible to be successfully implemented among students at the bachelor level. Three factors were analysed during the project: the students’ choice of online tools, forms of presenting language content to partners, and acts of code switching. The data were collected from the students’ production in telecollaborative tasks. It was found that giving students the possibility to choose the language code autonomously did not affect the exchange negatively. However, the students were not sufficiently prepared to act as teachers. Despite being familiar with various online tools, they chose those not adapted to the digital environment, and they found the language issues too complex to be successfully explained to their exchange partners.

This paper deals with the implementation of concordancers for the purpose of stimulating reflection on experience in telecollaborative translation projects at university level. The paper opens with a brief presentation of the rationale for the use of telecollaboration in contemporary translation and translator education. Then collaboration and telecollaboration are described as teaching/learning modes, with the latter presented as a computer-mediated extension of the former. Subsequently, the theoretical standing of collaboration in translator education is discussed, together with the learning gains that telecollaboration potentially offers to student translators. On a more practical note, on the basis of his own research conducted so far, the author presents means of eliciting reflection in telecollaborative translation projects administered at university level and introduces the idea of a concordancer as a tool for stimulating deepened reflection in such projects. The paper concludes with a summary of the benefits that concordancing brings to telecollaborative translation projects.

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.
