Abstract
The aim of this paper is to report on the impact of the BMELTET project ‘Blending MOOCs into English Language Teaching Education with Telecollaboration' in EFL pre-service teacher education in Florida Universitària in València (Spain) with their counterparts from the UK and China. The present study will offer the views of FU students' perceptions on the development of their TEFL specific competences. Data were collected through surveys, a focus group, and personal interviews on how their experience in BMELTET influenced their in-class professional practice. Results suggest that participants appreciated the chance of being part of a Virtual Exchange and considered that they had developed subject specific competences, particularly planning CLIL projects, teaching English for primary education and practicing their language skills. In addition, some of them transferred that knowledge to their eTwinning and Erasmus projects when in-service and highlighted the improvements in their intercultural communicative competence and their ability to teach it.

The mission of the International Journal of Computer-Assisted Language Learning and Teaching (IJCALLT) is to publish research, theory, and conceptually-based papers that address the use and impact of and innovations in education technologies in advancing foreign/second language learning and teaching. This journal expands on the principles, theories, designs, discussion, and implementations of computer-assisted language learning. In addition to original research papers and submissions on theory and concept development and systematic reports of practice, this journal welcomes theory-based CALL-related book and software/application reviews.
