Recent studies illustrate the potential that intercultural telecollaborative exchanges entail
for language development through the use of corrective feedback from collaborating
partners (Kessler, 2009; Lee, 2008; Sauro, 2009; Ware & O’Dowd, 2008).
We build on this growing body of research by presenting the findings of a three-monthlong research project that explored the impact of peer feedback on the development of
learner accuracy. Our aim was to study participants’ attention to form and the relative
effectiveness of error correction strategies. In order to do so, we organised an e-mail
exchange between seventeen post-secondary learners of Spanish and German. Data consist
of exchanges between the five dyads who completed the full three-month project. As
suggested by Vinagre and Lera (2008), analysis of these data indicate that despite frequent
use of error correction, the use of remediation led to a higher percentage of errors recycled
and was more conducive to error recycling in later language production
