Teletandem and Performativity
Parole chiave:
teletandem, tandem, telecollaboration, performativity, foreign languageAbstract
Teletandem is a virtual autonomous webcam-based context (image, voice and text), where two students help each other learn their native (or other) language through intercultural and linguistic collaboration. Performative Theory can shed light into the constitution of these students’ subjectivities, as they engage into linguistic performances of highlighting and discussing differences between their countries during teletandem. Based on critical approaches to discourse and intercultural communication, my analysis shows that this online intercultural contact opens innovative possibilities for foreign language teachers to promote intercultural contact with “the different”. However, without teacher mediation, teletandem interactions may fall into shallow performances of sedimented and pre-given representations of self and other. I conclude with a discussion of relevant points to foreign language teachers.
