Bohinski, Chesla Ann; Leventhal, Yumei
The EUROCALL Review, v23 n1 p11-16 Mar 2015
This paper shares the work and observations from a task-based 6-week email exchange project between participants in Spain and the US. Though small in scale, the study offers insights for those interested in telecollaboration but face constraints on multiple fronts. Close examination of the exchanges reveal participants' engagement on multiple levels, including reflection on one's own culture.
