Abstract

This paper reports on a study exploring the process of redesigning a telecollaboration


project towards an ecological constructivist approach. The project aimed at examining the
affordances of digital technology to develop tertiary education ESP students’ intercultural
awareness while fostering the development of 21st century skills. It proposed an
educational intervention over one semester designed around learners’ context, needs and
course curricula, with data collection on intercultural awareness and competence, use of and
perceptions about technology, as well as motivation for and engagement with language
learning at university level. The approach adopted strongly reflects the principles of Design-
based research, an emerging paradigm for the study of learning in context (in this case, ESP
higher education students) through the systematic design and study of instructional
strategies and tools. Under such methodology, research is carried out in iterative cycles of
design, enactment, reflection, refinement, and redesign. The holistic approach underpinning
the Design-based research methodology is in line with the principles of ecological
constructivism, the theoretical framework that has informed the redesigning of the project
in its second iterative cycle. When evaluating the results of the first iteration of the project,
the researchers felt that there was a need to reshape their theoretical framework in the
design of the second iteration towards an ecological constructivist approach that would
explore the telecollaborative context more holistically and with a view to making it a
dynamic learning environment that would enhance learners’ intercultural communicative
competence and 21st century skills. The redesign of the second iteration was informed by
feedback collected through questionnaires and through focus groups interviews with 120
