Résumé

In May 2007 a pilot study was conducted by the authors to explore the opportunities provided by online social networks. It involved French and British Master's learners. The purpose of including British learners was to explore potential for learning opportunities and exchange through differing cultural/linguistic perspectives on key issues. A private community eLEN (eLearning Exchange Network) was set up using Ning, to provide virtual discussion space for international exchanges in a social network environment. After providing initial frameworks for learners to communicate within, they were encouraged to initiate and moderate discussion threads. This paper will discuss the benefits of eLEN within the context of professional development, provide an analysis of the online interaction between the learners and identify key criteria to promote effective learning through international bilingual social networks.
