Virtual Exchange (VE) as an umbrella term has been getting attention throughout the world with the support it gets from public authorities (i.e. European Commission) (O’Dowd & O’Rourke, 2019) and it has been used in teacher training to make pre-service teachers expose to authentic language use, collaborative tasks and transnational settings with the aim to prepare them to conduct their VE in the future. Of the affordances VE presents is reflective practice (RP). RP plays a crucial role in establishing and improving teaching practice, and both RP and VE have the power to promote teacher learning in teacher training. Although there are a few studies exploring RP in teacher learning, literature lacks empirical studies which examine video-mediated trainee-trainee data-led RP (Balaman, in progress) without presence of a trainer/mentor. Therefore, what happens when student teachers reflect on implementation of their own designs as a transnational group without guidance of a trainer is a lacuna in the literature on language teacher education (LTE). To cast a light on the gaps mentioned, this study aims to investigate the video-mediated data-led reflective talk of transnational student teachers on the implementation of their VE task designs. To this end, screen-recordings of VE of transnational pre-service teachers from the first step of designing tasks to RP of them on the implementation of their task design and on the whole VE experience through VE will be collected. Reflections of pre-service teachers will be data-led as their task design will be implemented by a number of dyads. The screen-recordings of RP will be analyzed by employing robust methodological tools of Conversation Analysis (CA). The findings will present implications for teacher training by revealing the affordances VE presents for RP, exploring how RP leads to learning and shedding light on minutely designed RP of student teachers in video-mediated setting.
