Abstract

Language teachers often struggle to ensure that language learners have meaningful opportunities to use the target language outside of the classroom. Technological developments have opened new possibilities for this. The authors took advantage of the increasing prevalence of social media platforms and conducted a project using a series of assignments that included video and written exchanges between EFT and JFL learners at universities in Japan and the U.S. using Facebook. In this paper, we will provide an overview of the project, share pedagogical implications of the results, and suggest additional ways to implement a language exchange project using SNS.
