Business Communication Skills through Virtual Exchange -- A Case Study
Research-publishing.net
Assessing the skills of the students who take part in a Virtual Exchange (VE) project is a challenging and complicated task, especially if it aims to engage both the students and VE co-organisers in the feedback and evaluation process. The objective of this chapter is to outline the pedagogical design of a business communication skills course and present how a VE component and its assessment were integrated into the core course syllabus. The text explains how all the members of the created VE learning community were involved in defining the skills to be developed by the students. Pedagogical choices were made that involved the design of the learning path, the design of the VE activities, and the course assessment in such a way that everyone had a precise role to play. In particular, the chapter focuses on how different assessment tools prompted the students to reflect on the development of language competence while working together to prepare for a professional job interview in an international and collaborative learning setting.
