Intercultural Competence
1. “the ability to communicate effectively and appropriately in intercultural situations based on one’s intercultural knowledge, skills and attitudes”
2. “Ability to shift frame of reference appropriately and adapt behavior to cultural context; adaptability, expandability and flexibility of one’s frame of reference/filter”
3. “Ability to identify behaviors guided by culture and engage in new behaviors in other cultures even when behaviors are unfamiliar given a person’s own socialization”
Deardorff (2006)

Opportunity
•A new/unique & motivating experience•Further exchanges strongly desired•Communicating with ‘foreigners’ a rare opportunity
Partners
•Offered opportunities for cultural learning*•Perceived social identity a factor - interaction with ‘peers’ is also desirable
Tasks
•Preference for autonomous participation, distinct from formal learning tasks (as per Pritchard, 2013) •Mixed perceptions regarding the project’s value in relationship to language learning

“It was a new experience for me so it was interesting for me in terms of meeting with foreigner [sic]” (M1)
“It was very fresh experience for me because I rarely have had a chance to communicate with foreigners” (M3)
“I think this project has been very successful by far. Most of us enjoy this Facebook project. In addition, we don’t have sufficient opportunity to communicate with foreigners, but this project gave us that kind of chance” (M7)

Insights, not findings…
• Intercultural exchanges using Web 2.0 technologies may offer an entirely new, engaging and motivating experience to EFL learners
• University age learners may prefer sustained & in depth interactions, and opportunities to meaningfully develop personal networks
• Some congruence in social identity & language ability between exchange partners is desirable
• Tools/platforms for exchange should be selected with consideration of how formal, informal or autonomous interactions will be
