A Dialogic Model for Telecollaboration
Resumen
En contextos de aprendizaje de idiomas, telecolaboración se entiende como el intercambio intercultural, facilitado vía Internet, entre las personas de diferentes orígenes culturales / nacionales. La interacción es construida en un contexto institucional con el objetivo de desarrollar tanto las habilidades lingüísticas como las competencias comunicativas e interculturales. En general, los estudiantes interactúan entre sí sobre temas "seguros" y, posteriormente, reflexionan y discuten sobre sus interacciones con los profesores y compañeros. En este trabajo se presenta un modelo dialógico de telecolaboración que rompe con esta tradición, ya que implica la interacción sobre temas que se consideran de división o conflictivos, a través del diálogo en grupos dirigidos por mediadores capacitados (dentro del Programa Connect Soliya). Se ilustran las diferencias entre este modelo de telecolaboración y los modelos tradicionales. La autora presenta los resultados de un estudio de investigación que analiza la evaluación de los participantes de este programa, como perciben el papel de los mediadores y los resultados personales de aprendizajePalabras clave
