Abstract	Although many online intercultural exchanges have been conducted based on the groundbreaking Cultura model, most to date have been between and among European languages. This volume presents several chapters with a focus on exchanges involving Asian and Pacific languages. Many of the benefits and challenges of these exchanges are similar to those reported for European languages; however, some of the difficulties reported in the Chinese and Japanese exchanges might be due to the significant linguistic differences between English and East Asian languages. This volume adds to the body of emerging studies of telecollaboration among learners of Asian and Pacific languages. Chapters include: (1) From Then to Now. Its Origins, Key Features, Methodology, and How It Has Evolved. Reflections on the Past and Musings on the Future (Gilberte Furstenberg and Sabine Levet); (2) A Meta-Synthesis of Cultura-Based Projects (Dorothy M. Chun); (3) A Tale of Two Cultures (Meei-Ling Liaw and Kathryn English); (4) Developing Intercultural Communicative Competence Through Online Exchanges (Dorothy M. Chun); (5) Intercultural Learning on the Web: Reflections on Practice (Song Jiang, Haidan Wang, and Stephen Tschudi); (6) UH-UCLA Filipino Heritage Café and the Fil-Ams' Quest for Identity (Nenita Pambid Domingo ); and (7) A High School Japanese and English Intercultural Exchange Project: Design, Implementation, and Evaluation (Yukiko Watanabe, Yoichi Tsuji, and Cindy Wong).
