“…Previously, Miller (2012) and McIlvenny (2002) also reflected on performativity and foreign language learning. Their studies concluded that learners' common sense understandings of perceived realities of language and of the native speaker are performatively constituted through ESL classroom interactions (Miller, 2012, p.89).…”

Teletandem is a virtual autonomous VoIP 2 technology-based context (webcam images, voice and text). Within this context, two students help each other learn their native (or other) language through intercultural and linguistic collaboration. Performative Theory can shed light on the constitution of these students' national identities, as they engage in linguistic performances of marking and discussing differences between their countries during teletandem. Based on critical approaches to discourse and intercultural communication, my analysis shows that this online intercultural contact opens innovative possibilities for foreign language teachers to promote intercultural contact with "the different". However, without teacher mediation, teletandem interactions may fall into shallow performances of sedimented and pre-given representations of self and other. Subsequently, this article concludes with a discussion of relevant pedagogical points for foreign language teachers. KEYWORDS: teletandem; tandem; telecollaboration; performativity; foreign language.RESUMO: Teletandem é um contexto virtual e autônomo que utiliza recursos de tecnologia VOIP (imagens de webcam, voz e texto). Neste contexto, dois estudantes de línguas estrangeiras colaboram um com o outro na aprendizam de sua respectivas línguas nativas (ou de proficiencia) por meio da interação intercultural e linguística. A Teoria da Performatividade pode esclarecer a constituição das identidades nacionais desses alunos quando eles marcam e discutem diferenças entre seus dois países durante sessões de teletandem. Com base em abordagens críticas ao discurso e a comunicação intercultural, minha análise mostra que o contato intercultural on-line abre possibilidades inovadoras para professores de línguas estrangeiras promoverem o contato intercultural com o "diferente". No entanto, sem a mediação do professor, as interações de

“…It has been noted by others that a queer methodology needs to be developed to examine how people accomplish, transform and transgress gender and sexual identities, amongst others, in specific settings, including organisational settings (McIlvenny, 2002a;Speer and Potter, 2002;Speer, 2005;Fenstermaker and West, 2002;Moloney and Fenstermaker, 2002;2002b). The suggestion made by these writers, which I wish to follow, draws on other sociological approaches that also radically trouble and show the contested, constructed nature of identities, but in situ: ethnomethodology and conversation analysis.…”

“…Rather, they re-sediment conventions of earlier iterations of discursive practices and thus serve as occasions for reconstituting social ideologies about language and learner subjectivity. McIlvenny (2002) emphasizes that such performative power comes not from single acts but from the "(re)citation of a prior chain of acts which are implied in the present act" (p. 116). Such chains of acts are considered here by using the metaphoric construct of sedimentation with respect to language and learning.…”
