    "abstract": "Virtual collaboration and teamwork have long transformed many sectors like business and healthcare, and higher education is no exception. However, unlike many other sectors, literature in higher education has primarily focused on team learning in the online context. Most works center around recommendations for effective technology platforms, training, communication, and assessment measures for matriculated students and researchers (Cleary et al., 2018; Flammia et al., 2016; Hu, 2015), rather than for effective virtual team performance for professional educators (DeRosa & Lespinger, 2010; Zaccaro & Bader, 2003). Drawing on the domains of business, education, and the military, this article examines four key factors for fostering effective virtual teamwork among foreign language (FL) instructors: (a) trust, (b) communication, (c) autonomy, and (d) identity. It also offers implications for teacher trainers and educational leadership for building professional development for successful teamwork in an online teaching environment and post-COVID teaching contexts.",
