Abstract
In the previous chapter, I described a theoretical framework that could be adopted for the study of identities in online contexts such as virtual exchange projects, but I did not dwell on methodological considerations. In this chapter, I outline the methodological orientation adopted for the in-depth study which the rest of the book is based on. I then provide a brief description of the context of the study and my positionings within it.
