A Study of Secondary Pre-Serive English Teachers’ Experiences on Telecollaboration

The study was designed to investigate how secondary pre-service English teachers develop their intercultural competence through telecollaboration with pre-service teachers in the U.S. and how they perceived their experience on the telecollaboration. To implement the study, nine secondary pre-service English teachers as graduate students in English education participated in the activities of telecollaboration with American pre-service teachers, sharing their opinions on the three topics through three different online learning tools. To achieve the study purpose, the self-evaluated intercultural competence of the participants was compared and their reflection essay was analyzed. The results of the study showed that the telecollaboration enabled secondary pre-service English teachers to promote their intercultural competence and it was also thought to be beneficial to develop the knowledge·information process, the self-management, and the civic competence. However, their experiences were varied depending on the engagement degree in the project. Finally, the study includes its educational implications and limitation.
