Iniciamos nossa introdução ao presente número temático situando o Teletandem enquanto tema norteador dos trabalhos apresentados. Compreendemos que, apesar de amplamente divulgado e implementado como contexto de aprendizagem telecolaborativa no Brasil e no exterior, conforme demonstram as pesquisas concluídas e em andamento, ainda é preciso retornar a sua essência, sua origem e seus princípios, para não perder de vista suas bases epistemológicas. Nesse sentido, vários dos trabalhos publicados neste dossiê ratificam a definição e/ou a descrição do Teletandem como esse contexto de aprendizagem telecolaborativa iniciado na UNESP (Universidade Estadual Paulista) no ano de 2006 para a promoção de contato linguístico e cultural entre seus participantes. Destacamos que em cada cenário, contudo, há diferentes perspectivas de discussão e novas propostas de se pensar os princípios de autonomia, reciprocidade e uso separado de línguas, descritos por Brammerts (1996) no âmbito do tandem presencial e apropriados também pelo teletandem (TELLES; VASSALLO, 2006).

A parceria foi realizada durante os primeiros meses da pandemia COVID-19, que impactou a rotina regular de alunos e professores das duas instituições. O estudo de caso apresentado aqui é teoricamente fundamentado em estudos sobre práticas de intercâmbio virtual, internacionalização e ensino de língua inglesa, conduzidos por autores como Telles

Through web conferencing tools, the project pairs up Brazilian university students learning foreign languages with foreign university students learning Portuguese. The partnerships are supported by mediation sessions conducted by professors and researchers of the Teletandem Project. In this paper, we present some theoretical concepts related to telecollaboration (Belz, 2003; O'Dowd, 2007; 2018), besides providing a detailed description and comparison of four editions of preparatory courses for teletandem mediators, organized by researchers of the project.

Por meio de sessões regulares via aplicativos de interação em áudio, vídeo e texto, como o Skype e o WhatsApp, aprendizes de língua inglesa, por exemplo, podem se comunicar com aprendizes de língua portuguesa de institui-ções internacionais para que pratiquem a língua nativa ou de proficiência um do outro. O objetivo do presente artigo é apresentar o relato de experiência de implementação do Teletandem no contexto da Universidade Estadual do Norte do Paraná. Para tanto, apresento uma descrição do Teletandem, contemplando seus princípios, modalidades e papel dos mediadores. Além disso, descrevo as primeiras ações para sua implementação na UENP. A análise dos relatos e das ações de implementação indica os benefícios da prática telecolaborativa e os desafios institucionais e pedagógicos para sua implementação. Palavras-chave: Teletandem. Telecolaboração. Aprendizagem de línguas.
ABSTRACT: The Teletandem program of telecollaboration aims at promoting linguistic and intercultural development between foreign language learners from different institutions. Through regular sessions on applications of audio, video and text interaction such as Skype and WhatsApp, learners of English, for example, can communicate with learners of Portuguese from foreign institutions so they practice each other's native of proficiency language. The goal of this article is to report the experience of implementation of Teletandem at State University of the North of Paraná (UENP). To that end, I present a description of Teletandem, considering its principles, modalities and role of mediators. Besides, I describe the first actions to implement it at UENP. The analysis of the reports and of the implementation actions indicate the benefits of the practice of Teletandem and the institutional and pedagogical challenges for its implementation.

Since 2006, institutional teletandem practice has involved the offer of pedagogical mediation to support learners’ development. The mediation aims to provide teletandem participants a context for sharing experience and reflecting on their language and intercultural learning process. This article aims at describing the mediation session procedures and the findings of a study carried out during teletandem interactions between students from Brazil and from the United States. A private Facebook group was used to support the contact between the mediator and students of the Brazilian university. In this work, we present the review of the concept of mediation in teletandem and present the results of an interpretivist qualitative analysis that show that the role of the mediator is focused on providing encouragement and guidelines based on teletandem theory and principles. We also point out the study limits and propose some possibilities for future research that might focus on mediation sessions through virtual platforms or social networks.

The access to people constitutes an important dimension in reconfiguration pedagogical practices, curriculum of courses and contexts of teachers’ development. In this scenery, the project Teletandem Brasil (TELLES, 2006) has opened doors for intercultural communication and singular experiences for Portuguese learners from foreign universities and foreign language learners from UNESP. Considering the contexts of telecollaboration for the promotion of changes regarding processes of languages teaching and learning, the goal of this article is to outline (a) a historical overview of the implementation of Teletandem, (b) to present the theoretical base and principles of Teletandem, (c) to present research perspectives in the field of telecollaboration.

In these learning contexts, the mediator's (or tutor's) role in supporting successful learning is of considerable importance. Firstly, the present article discusses some studies in which the mediator's role in online learning environments is emphasized. Secondly, we use this discussion to support our qualitative case-study analysis, in which we investigated mediators' debate-management strategies in TelEduc virtual forums. Lastly, we propose a reflective framework about management strategies in forums in virtual learning platforms.

Para isso, foram selecionados alguns fragmentos de textos que evidenciem a relação entre escrita e prosódia e entre escrita e oralidade. Para a análise, serão considerados os conceitos de heterogeneidade da escrita, de Corrêa (2001; 2004), e de fonologia prosódica – como os processos de hipossegmentação e hipercorreção –, tomando por base teórica Nespor & Vogel (1986) e Bortoni-Ricardo (2004).

Isso nos leva a uma reflexão, a partir de nossa experiência como tutoras no REDEFOR, sobre a formação de professores para atuarem nesses contextos e sobre as mudanças de paradigmas educacionais desencadeadas pelo advento da Educação a Distância (EaD). Este artigo pretende traçar um panorama geral das políticas públicas de formação de professor para o campo da EaD, refletir sobre as mudanças nas relações pedagógicas e sociais em AVA e sobre as novas competências requeridas do professor para a utilização de diferentes tecnologias e contextos de aprendizagem.

For this purpose we applied a questionnaire to undergraduate students in the Linguistic Course of a public university from the southeast of Brazil, in order to observe, through a qualitative analysis, how these experiences contribute to the inclusion of students into the academic community and to their development as teachers/researchers. The research uses, as theoretical embasement, the literacies and textual genres concepts.
