This study examines a supplemental activity referred to as the student-generated survey (SGS) implemented in the IVEProject, a large-scale VE with, at the time of this research, over 3000 contributing EFL students per exchange. Stemming from a sociocultural perspective with an aim to promote student agency, curiosity and discussion, the SGS allows students to participate in a survey composed of questions generated by themselves and/or their peers. Aiming to investigate how the SGS affects IVEProject participants’ intercultural competence, this cross-sectional study focuses on data collected from 768 participants from 10 countries during the May-July 2021 exchange. Quantitative analysis of nine sixpoint Likert scale items showed that students who took the SGS and discussed its results had statistically significant increases in multiple items related to components of Deardorff's Pyramid Model of IC compared with students who did not. Furthermore, these gains were more noticeable among students who additionally took part in the question-generation process of the SGS. Thematic analysis of an open-ended question found 96% of student comments to be positive, falling under the themes‘intercultural development’ and ‘enjoyment and contentment.’ The findings from quantitative and qualitative data shed light on the positive effect of the SGS on IC development, offering a beneficial reference point for international VE contexts.  \nKeywords: virtual exchange, IVEProject (International Virtual Exchange Project), student-generated survey (SGS), intercultural competence, student perceptions.  \nHighlights  \nWhat is already known about this topic:  \n• Virtual exchange (VE) programs provide venues for intercultural competence (IC) and foreign language development.  \n• Students find opportunities to interact with their peers from many different countries and cultures via VE.  \nWhat this paper contributes:  \n• The study demonstrates how the student-generated survey (SGS) assists IC development within a virtual exchange program.  \n• The paper documents the positive perceptions of VE participants for the SGS. Implications for theory, practice and/or policy:  \n• The findings support supplementing VE written forums with complementary activities, the SGSin this case, to help students develop IC.  \n• The SGS fosters curiosity, enjoyment and and learner agency in VE participants.  \n• Discussion of the SGS plays a key role in promoting IC development.  \nIntroduction  \nAs the internet has transformed from an information dispensary format to a user-empowering knowledge-building format, teachers can utilize these changes to create dynamic learning opportunities (Dooly, 2010) . One such opportunity is virtual exchange (VE), and while it may go under various names (e.g. online intercultural exchange, telecollaboration, COIL) (Hagley, 2020; Stevens Initiative, 2021), the general purpose is consistent: to promote negotiation of meaning and learning among geographicallyseparated participants from different cultures and backgrounds through sustained intercultural dialogue under the guidance of facilitators (Helm, 2014; O’Dowd, 2018; O’Dowd, 2020) . While doing so, participants may also foster foreign language abilities, communicative competence, awareness of their own and others’ cultures, and global citizenship (Godwin-Jones, 2019; O’Dowd, 2020; Schenker, 2012) . Circumventing hurdles such as financial constraints or health concerns, it has been said that VE maybe the closest “a learner can come to experiencing intercultural communication within the supportive environment of the classroom” (O’Dowd, 2020, p. 353) .
