This presentation will provide a detailed account of the role of the coaches during telecollaboration for the teaching/learning of English, French and Spanish and intercultural competence within the E-LIVE Erasmus + project (ELIVE, 2022-2024). Akiyama and Cunningham (2018: 49) define telecollaboration as ”a type of online learning arrangement between geographically distant participants for the development of language and intercultural competence”. In the field of education, the term ”coach” is employed as a synonym of teacher or to characterize teachers engaged in mutual ”peer coaching” (Cox, 2012). In our context, it is employed exclusively to designate a person within a telecollaborative project whose role involves assisting teachers with the organizational, technological, and pedagogical aspects of telecollaboration. Research on this form of coaching is limited, one notable exception being the ground-breaking study on coaches in a European telecollaboration project (TILA) conducted by Melchor Couto and Jauregi (2017). These researchers administered a questionnaire on coaching to 23 secondary school teachers involved in telecollaboration. It featured 5-item Likert scale questions for teachers to assess the assistance and guidance provided by their coaches. In this conceptual replication study (Polio & Gass, 1997), a similar questionnaire, was administered in June 2023 to 14 primary and secondary school teachers involved in telecollaborative exchanges. The quantitative results were quite positive and ranged numerically from 3.9 to 4.7 for the TILA questionnaire and from 4.2 to 4.5 for the one administered during the E-LIVE project. In the open-ended question sections of the E-LIVE questionnaire, teachers commented that having a coach facilitated their interactions, enhanced their comprehension of the various available platforms, and offered them a reliable source of support. We will discuss the implications of these results for coaching in the second iteration of telecollaborative exchanges within our project in the forthcoming academic year.
