Online Romance Languages Cross-Comprehension in the Development of Educational Competence: A Study of Future Teachers' Perceptions
Araujo e Sa, Maria Helena; Melo, Silvia
E-Learning, v4 n1 p52-63 2007
This article presents perceptions of Portuguese teacher education students concerning their participation in the Galanet project's plurilingual online communication (with Romance languages) and, particularly, the contribution of this participation in the development of their educational competence in relation to personal, intercultural and pedagogical dimensions. The results suggest the potential of online plurilingual communication for promoting plurilingualism and Romance intercomprehension, as well as in the development of future teachers' professional identities. (Contains 9 notes.)
