Assessment of interculturality in online interactions: methodological considerations

Abstract

In this paper, methodological issues in tracing the evidence of Intercultural Competences (IC) in online intercultural exchanges or telecollaboration are examined. The possibilities and limitations of methods for analyzing IC occurrences are explored. By considering the complementarity of methods, the study contributes to advance the methodological reflections on identifying interculturality and intercultural learning processes in technology-mediated interactions.
