Objectius de desenvolupament sostenible i competències transversals mitjançant intercanvi virtual L2/3

Abstract

This pilot study explores the effects of virtual exchange in the higher education setting. The core goal is to investigate the potential new training environments in second or third-language learning and relate their use to competence enhancement and sustainability awareness. Through quantitative, qualitative and pre-/ post-test methods, the researchers detected a positive correlation between the online didactic experiment and the increased capacities of international learners. Moreover, this project has provided an exciting opportunity to compare the advancements of technology and humanities undergraduates from Spain and Croatia. Given the importance of intercultural cooperation among different nationalities, this interaction process offers a new communication channel linked to sustainability and competence context in English as a Foreign Language. Besides, the debate about online collaboration's role in foreign language course design has gained fresh insights and delivered experimental data worth further consideration.
