Promoting speaking interaction remains a challenge for language massive open online courses (LMOOCs), both from a pedagogical and technological standpoint. This paper describes the design process of the tandemMOOC, which exploits the massive, open and online features of MOOCs in order to offer language learners online speaking interaction practice with native speakers of their target language. The course is based on eTandem language learning principles and equips learners with the necessary competences to be able to cope with online second language (L2) speaking opportunities. Following a design-based research approach, this paper presents an analysis and discussion of seven components of the design: learning environment, facilitation dynamics, dyad configuration, task types, task topics, feedback provision, and gamification components. The analysis of the implementation of these elements results in a set of key features for the integration of L2 speaking interaction activities in LMOOCs.

在 LMOOC 中设计演讲互动：一种 eTandem 方法

从教学和技术的角度来看，促进口语互动仍然是语言大规模开放在线课程 (LMOOC) 的挑战。本文描述了串联MOOC的设计过程，利用MOOC的海量、开放和在线特性，为语言学习者提供与目标语言母语者的在线口语互动练习。该课程基于 eTandem 语言学习原则，为学习者提供必要的能力，以应对在线第二语言 (L2) 的演讲机会。遵循基于设计的研究方法，本文对设计的七个组成部分进行了分析和讨论：学习环境、促进动力学、二元配置、任务类型、任务主题、反馈提供和游戏化组件。
