The model of telecollaboration described in this chapter, Cultura, is one whose focus is precisely that of intercultural competence. Its methodology integrates culture into the language classroom by facilitating the direct communication between two groups of learners from different cultures and the comparison of those cultures. We will describe the principles and practices of Cultura and examine its implementation in an ongoing exchange between classes at Barnard College in New York and the University of Leo´n in Spain.
