Recently the virtual organization of work has become of crucial significance. The changes in the work environment induced by the Industry 4.0 revolution are also reflected in the emergence of virtual negotiations. New settings impose new challenges not only for negotiators, but also for higher education struggling to provide students with the best opportunities for comprehensive development. Given the applicability of virtual exchange (VE) in business higher education, the main objective of this paper is to present the usefulness of virtual exchange as a tool to boost students’ skills that are necessary for virtual negotiations. Firstly, the concept of the 4th space was applied to compare the context of virtual negotiations and VE projects. Secondly, the learning outcomes of the VE projects were studied from the perspective of the requirements of virtual negotiations.

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.
