Paper Abstract:
|
This poster describes an online intercultural exchange between Japanese and Spanish students of foreign language. With the aim of developing students intercultural communicative competence, during 11 weeks students from both countries discussed in Spanish in online forums about cultural topics. Also, students in Japan did activities in the classroom related to the online activities. Analysis of students posts in the online forums and their answers to a questionnaire show some positive results. However, many posts had superficial contents and the participation of Spanish students decreased. For future projects, we emphasize the importance of online interaction, offline activities and students commitment. |
