Abstract

This qualitative participatory study ex-plores contradictions that emerged in a telecollaborative project linking two groups of participants: 11 teacher-learners of a TESOL graduate program in Korea and 24 graduate students of an educational psychology course in the United States. Drawing on data from self-reflection essays, interview, online tran-scripts, and end-of-semester question-naires, I document main contextual ten-sions that arose from the different social-ly and culturally situated attitudes, beliefs, and expectations that informed students’ communicative choices.
