The Nexus of Identity, Emotions, and Agency in Virtual Exchanges Between Pre‐Service Teachers From Türkiye and the United States
This study draws on data gleaned from multimodal identity tasks in an eight‐week telecollaboration project involving 120 pre‐service teachers from two teacher education programs in Türkiye and the United States. The authors explore what emotions teachers expressed during their participation in telecollaboration and how their emotions intersected with their teacher agency and identity construction. The intersectionality of language teachers’ ident…

Epistemic modality and evidentiality in virtual intercultural exchanges between Turkish and Texan users of English
This study reports on data from two 6‐week virtual intercultural exchanges (VIEs) between teachers of multilingual learners in K‐12 schools in Türkiye and the United States. Using the data from these asynchronous VIEs, we focus on Turkish world Englishes speakers’ use of epistemic markers and evidentials.

Neo‐Nationalist Discourses and Teacher Identity Tensions in a Telecollaboration for Teachers of Minoritized Language Learners in Türkiye
In this paper, we focus on the situatedness of teacher identity and agency within sociopolitical contexts dominated by neo‐nationalist discourses and rely on data from online conversations among preservice and in‐service teachers of English in Türkiye and the United States (US). We report on data constructed in a telecollaboration (a.k.a., virtual intercultural exchange) that we, four TESOL teacher educators, designed for teachers to discuss issu…

Pre-service teachers’ translingual negotiation strategies at work
Our study draws from discussion board data from a telecollaboration including three teacher education courses in France, Turkey, and the USA. Our data analysis of three groups' conversations (n = 21) addressed this research question: How do participants use translingual negotiation strategies in online contact zones as they construct their cultural, linguistic, and professional identities? The findings indicate that preservice teachers employed: …
Digital literacy practices of Turkish pre-service EFL teachers
With rapid changes in information and communication technologies, it is no longer sufficient for language teachers and pre-service teachers (PTs) to know how to use existing digital tools. They also need to be digitally literate in order to critically evaluate such tools and platforms for safe, wise, and productive use. Within a qualitative approach, this study investigated Turkish PTs’ conceptualisation of digital literacy. This included an expl…
Preservice Teachers' Discursive Constructions of Cultural Practices in a Multicultural Telecollaboration
The study reports on a telecollaboration exchange between two teacher education classes in the United States and Turkey. In synchronous and asynchronous conversations, preservice teachers (PTs) engaged in social justice issues and made discourse choices that captured culture(s) and communities as diverse or essentialized. These choices were affected by PTs' positionings and impacted how PTs connected to individuals only and/or to broader society.…
