Virtual Exchange (VE) is of great import to language and culture
teachers and researchers but is also gaining popularity in other fields.
However, around the world and in the Asia-Pacific region in particular,
the number of exchanges is not high and the quality of those that exist
needs to continue to improve. It is essential that the latest research
and best practice can be disseminated to ensure VE develops further. In
this edited volume, various researchers and practitioners provide
firsthand perspectives, well-researched accounts of current situations,
ideas for future exchanges, and areas in need of further development. We
hope it will be of use to the VE practitioner and researcher alike.
