To answer these questions, China-based beginner FL learners were recruited and paired with native and near-native English speakers based in Canada. In particular, it investigates whether machine-translated IM could improve the willingness to communicate (WTC) of beginner FL learners and whether the IM translation tool offers learners opportunities to communicate (OTC) in the FL. The current research project explores the relationship between machine translation, IM, and foreign language (FL) learning.
Initially developed to enhance communication between users who understood the same language, some IM clients including Wechat (QQ International (and Skype Translator (have integrated a built-in translation application that facilitates communication among users that speak different languages. Instant messaging (IM), which is one form of computer-mediated communication, has significantly gained popularity over the years and many scholars have examined its influence in areas including business and academics.

Technological innovation has been one of the reasons for the development of computer-mediated communication (CMC), which has had far-reaching implications in the private and professional lives of many people. The findings suggest that TEILI approximates real-life learning contexts by allowing students to use a language for the same purposes that they will use it outside schoolĪdvances in technology over the last few decades have led to significant changes in the way we communicate. The results revealed that the participants had strong positive attitudes towards technology-enhanced intercultural language learning (TEILI), which enabled the learners to experience authentic language learning that fostered linguistic competence and ICC. To triangulate the findings, qualitative and quantitative methods were used to collect the data specifically, questionnaires, interviews, and document analyses were used to investigate the learners' responses and learning processes. The projects were designed to improve students' language skills and intercultural communicative competence (ICC). To create an authentic EFL classroom, this one-year action research study carried out three collaborative intercultural projects using web-based tools (online forums, weblogs, Skype, and email) in a 7th grade EFL class. In Taiwan, learners have few opportunities to experience cross-cultural communication in English. The main aim of learning English as an international language is to effectively communicate with people from other cultures.
