摘要:The so‑called telecollaboration systems have been used for language teaching and, in theory, negotiation and co‑construction of meanings. José Marcelo Freitas de Luna Grounded on the relevant literature and the data derived from a corpus of e‑mails exchanges between a Brazilian learner of Italian and one Italian learner of English, this paper aimed at understanding how issues equated to nation were negotiated and co‑ ‑constructed dialogically in e‑mail interactions. The discussion of the outcomes leads the article to final considerations linked to the dimensions in the classroom context.
