Échanges exolingues et interculturalité dans un environnement informatisé plurilingue

Abstract

How can intercultural skills be activated in a collaborative e-learning platform on internet, involving several groups of learners from different countries and different romance languages? In plurilingual cross-comprehension practice – i.e. when everyone understands the other languages and knows how to be understood in his 1st romance language(s) –, we identify in this paper various kinds of intercultural phenomena in reference to exolingual communication and in reference to the place and role of interculturality in the action-oriented approach of the Common European Framework. This categorisation is afterwards exemplified and discussed using some examples of e-interaction gathered from the Galanet platform.
