The type used depends on the teacher's situation. When partner classes are available, cooperative language exchange is one option. “Cooperative”, here, means students in each of the countries participating are learning the language of the other partner. The example outlined in this paper is where American students studying Japanese are linked with Japanese students studying English. Collaborative exchange is another option. “Collaborative” means all students are EFL students and thus learn English only. The example illustrated here is where students from Colombia, Viet Nam and Japan worked together to learn English. There are positive aspects and difficulties to overcome with both forms of exchange. This paper will outline some initial findings on which type results in more output from students, in addition to which approach should attain better overall outcomes.}, pages = {43--50}, title = {Collaborative and Cooperative Online Language Exchanges}, volume = {12}, year = {2014} }
