Abstract:

This thesis project embarked on a journey with the beliefs that online
communication environments would have positive effects on language learners’
understanding of target cultures and learners’ spoken language proficiency, by
bringing together foreign language learners and native speakers of the target
language located in geographically distant places.

In this dissertation the effects of computer mediated communication via
telecollaboration with native speakers on foreign language learning are
studied. We chose to look at the role of tasks and the environment and their
effect on learners’ spoken language proficiency and their understanding of
target cultures. We believed that not only the relevance of meaningful tasks
in conjunction with the technological environment but also an international
setting with native speakers would help to enhance intercultural spoken
communication skills. We wanted to find out which characteristics of these
online exchanges are that enhance interaction and promote learning. We also
investigated whether these computer mediated interventions have any added
value over the more traditional education or if, on the contrary, they are
just another burden for teachers.
