| Abstract | This research work is based on an experience with e-mail exchanges between students at Javeriana University, in Bogota, Colombia, who are taking a degree in modern languages and French native speakers. Colombian students were introduced to French students so as to allow each of them to build their own learning approach while communicating with a native speaker. The purpose of this research work is to study the impact of a long-term engagement on the process of mastering a foreign language. This engagement might have a positive impact due to the establishment of an interpersonal relationship between two participants. The research was done over e-mails written in a foreign language: the students were aware of the linguistic and cultural discrepancy and of the need to adjust to each other’s language so that the exchange could be successful. This research study also implies a bilingual dimension since each student knows the language of his/her partner (Spanish – French). We carried out a conversational study taking into account the messages exchanged by all the pairs of the corpus. Our attention was focused on the interactional dimension of the exchange and on the use of communication and learning strategies by the participants to reach mutual understanding and the mastering of the linguistic elements of the foreign language. The results show that relational factors such as establishing closer links and being committed improve the quality of the exchange. Besides, the study of the strategies shows that observable attitudes in both learning the language and transmitting knowledge might occur for a small sample of learners |
