Hi Edwige, I hope this helps. I am also currently writing a book summarizing my and my colleagues' experiences with synchronous communication modes in online language courses.

I’d like to find out what type of activities work well, do’s and don’ts, etc. I have been looking for a little while and I am not finding anything practical and immediately applicable. I found a few research articles but I am looking for something more practice oriented. Have you read/published anything along those lines lately? Thank you!
