A class of UCLA students conducted a language exchange with a group of students in Spain using a photophone—a telephone‐like device which allows the interlocutors to see each other's still picture on a small screen while talking. This exchange is referred to here as a Tele‐class. This report describes such Tele‐class while pointing out its linguistic and cultural gains, as well as its limitations. The U.S. students's responses to two questionnaires are also reported, in addition to a list of recommendations for Tele‐class planners. The experience proved to be a success, enhancing motivation, language learning, and cultural awareness. However, more similar projects and substantial research are needed to explore the full potential of the Tele‐class as a language learning environment
