This presentation describes ongoing research related to a computer-mediated collaboration between master's students in teaching French as a foreign language at the University of Lyon II and intermediate-level French students at the University of California, Berkeley, over a three year period. Based on direct observation of interactions, analysis of screen and room video recordings, interviews, questionnaires, text and artifact analysis, the presentation will explore students' and apprentice teachers' uses of spoken, written and visual communication, their socio-affective responses to the exchanges, and their various adaptations to the affordances and constraints of the medium.
