"Student mobility is on the rise. A previous Communiqué of the Conference of European Ministers Responsible for Higher Education set a target of at least 20% of those graduating in the European higher education area having participated in a study or training period abroad by 2020. While this aim is very desirable, it does beg the question: What about the remaining 80% of students who may not engage in some kind of physical mobility during their studies?"
Shona Whyte's insight:
Robert O'Dowd of the INTENT project writes about university level telecollaboration as a substitute for or complement to physical mobility. Delete the scoop?

"The TILA project seeks:
(1) To innovate and enrich language teaching programs at secondary schools and make them more motivating and effective by stimulating telecollaboration for intercultural awareness with
peers of other cultures.
(2) To empower teacher training programmes for developing ICT literacy skills and organizational, pedagogical and
intercultural competences of (student) teachers for telecollaboration, by promoting experiential learning in task development, implementation and evaluation.
(3) To study the possible added value telecollaboration might have in language learning for intercultural understanding of younger learners."

New curation site maintained by Robert O'Dowd with news and information about the INTENT project on telecollaboration for language learning in higher education:
"This page aims to keep you up to date with all the latest developments and publications by the INTENT project team.
Our Erasmus Multilateral Project INTENT (Integrating Telecollaborative Networks into Foreign Language Higher Education) aims to raise greater awareness among students, educators and decision makers of telecollaboration as a tool for virtual mobility in FL education at the Higher Education (university) level and also on achieving more effective integration of telecollaboration in Higher Education Institutions.

Steve Kirk argues that in language for academic purposes classes, fluency activities where learners "just speak" are insufficient: learners also need to learn to develop "contentful" contributions.
I think a) this is also true of other second/foreign language teaching contexts and b) a strong version of task-based teaching can help address this concern.
