Abstract
This chapter discusses how virtual exchange (VE) projects can support female students on English language teacher education programmes, whose first language is not English, with reflecting on their beliefs, approaching their professional development in a critical way and feeling included and valued. Focusing in particular on the autoethnographical reflections of female participants who took part in VE projects that aimed at decolonising the English Language Teaching (ELT) curriculum, the chapter illustrates how VE can provide a powerful knowledge-sharing third space that enables female students to co-construct otherwise and pluralised ways of learning while also developing useful transversal competences.
