In this chapter, we present a telecollaboration project between a pre-service class on intercultural competence for teachers of English as a foreign or second language at a German University of Education and a US undergraduate course focusing on developing advanced language skills in combination with learning about linguistics and second language acquisition (Goertler & Lesoski, 2015). The purpose of the study is twofold: to (1) evaluate the instruments and assessments used for telecollaboration, and to (2) provide recommendations for assessment of telecollaboration in the future. Correlation between scoring rubrics intended to measure the same constructs were low, and so was inter-rater reliability. Specific recommendations for improvement of assessment mechanism and instruments are given in the discussion section.
