      I think this is something that we forget about on the virtual stage: we can still observe through body language and backgrounds about culture and cultural differences.
  • The students not only get to talk to one another but also can see how their partners react to questions, how they look, and how they live.

    I like this article even though it's from 6 years ago because it talks about the benefits to teletandem communication. I hope you are able to read it because it's from the Chronicle of Higher Education and you might need to sign up.

    It sounds interesting but I can't read the article because it prompts me to log in or create an account. I've always been interested in what I call "The cultural dimension of FL teaching".
