Онлайнове колаборативне викладання: потужність професійних зв’язків

The research intends to describe and conceptualize a longterm online collaborative teaching between Ukrainian and American teacher-training institutions. Initiated as a pilot web-blended class to “facilitate engagement and globalize horizons” (Powell et al., 2014, p. 44), the class appeared to become a platform for nurturing international professional connections, leading to scalability and longevity of partnership formats. The research questions aim to identifyattitudes toward international collaboration and the opportunities the collaboration provides for English teacher preparation. The findings demonstrate that once a university-to-university friendship yet invigorated with bilateral interest in global engagement, it evolved into sustainable educational multiple-member partnerships, powerful enough to significantly promote internationalization in teacher training, diversify instruction, and engage Ukrainian colleagues and students from other universities (Kuzmina et al., 2024; Matviienko & Kuzmina, 2020; Matviienko et al., 2022). Equally, co-teaching andinternational collaboration positively affect scientific research and professional development at both ends and nurture educational community networking in Ukraine and abroad.
