Absztrakt (kivonat)

At present, students can experience a wide range of intercultural encounters by exploiting various online opportunities. In higher education, different educational contexts also lend themselves to developing intercultural competencies via virtual intercultural contacts involving teachers and students. There is research evidence that intercultural competence development can enhance the participants' educational processes if implemented with appropriate methodological tools in an adequate framework (Pegrum, 2008). Consequently, it is regarded as a relevant aim to gain insights into the potential of online intercultural encounters on various online platforms in university contexts. The goal of the present qualitative interview study was to explore students’ experiences with various manifestations of virtual intercultural encounters within the framework of their higher education studies in and out of class. Qualitative data was gathered via a semi-structured interview protocol, and the investigation was conducted with 15 university students who were specializing in teacher training. The results of the content analysis revealed that the participants experienced a positive inner drive and favorable attitudes towards various forms of online intercultural encounters involving both interpersonal (e.g., online live face-to-face communication) and non-inter-personal ones (e.g., watching films in the target language). Furthermore, it was found that using the camera during interpersonal encounters is a controversial issue for the participants.
