| dc.description.abstract | This study presents two six-week telecollaboration projects. The first was carried out between students from the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) (n = 7), Spain, and the University of Bath, UK; the second between students from UPV (n = 24) and the University of Hawai‘i, US. The aim is to compare the production of apologies of Spanish-speaking students in both projects and to seek any differences among them depending on whether they worked in pairs or groups. Open role-plays were used to elicit apologies during synchronous Zoom sessions. The apologies produced were coded following a taxonomy based on Blum-Kulka and Olshtain (1984), Leech (2014), and Martínez-Flor (2016). The findings from the qualitative analysis did not reveal considerable differences among the two groups. However, the results of the quantitative analysis carried out through an Eta correlation coefficient revealed a significant correlation (r = .79) between the number of strategies used to apologise by each student and how they were grouped. Participants from the first group (working in pairs) slightly outperformed the second group (working in groups) in the post-test. This suggests that collaborating in pairs could be more beneficial to learning L2 apologies in telecollaboration than collaborating in groups. | |
