Virtual exchange across disciplines: telecollaboration and the question of asymmetrical task design

Abstract

This paper discusses an experience with an asymmetric online intercultural exchange between three different groups of students which took place during a specialised soft skills-focussed language class of Business Networking in English (BNiE) at the MIAS School of Business, Czech Technical University, Prague (MIAS). The results of the post-project discussion and perceptions of MIAS students participating in the asymmetric telecollaboration are analysed and conclusions are drawn.
