Third, it may be useful to examine how GV practices be integrated into SAprograms to produce a stronger, more effective learning and interaction experience forparticipants. Finally, it would be important to identify methods whereby students can strengthentheir common language and virtual interactions during the GV experience. For example, wouldparticipation in common language instruction facilitate the students’ cultural interactions?
