 note = {application/pdf, Virtual Exchange enables language learners to communicate via the Internet with learners from other regions and countries. This paper will describe a virtual exchange where over 800 students from Japan, Colombia and one class from Taiwan; used English to communicate asynchronously with each other over a nine week period. Participants exchanged information in English about their lives and cultures through text and video using discussion forums on Moodle. A survey of participants after the conclusion of the exchange revealed that participants found the exchange useful for practicing English and motivating for improving their English language skills. They also felt that they had learnt about the partner country and that their interest in the partner country had increased. The Moodle site used for the Virtual Exchange was found to be relatively easy to use and the exchange was not overly time consuming. This study also identifies some areas to improve future exchanges, while recommending Virtual Exchange as a real communication and language practice platform for students of foreign languages around the world.},
