Cover Story: Being able to deal with ‘moments of crisis’ is deemed crucial in intercultural communication. Using the concept of identities as an analytical lens, this paper examines various types of ‘moments of crisis’ in (rarely analysed) virtual exchanges between Chinese and Finnish students. In these moments of crisis, the participants use the following strategies to achieve interactional arrangement and self–other alignment: soothing to make others feel comfortable and code-switching between languages as support. The emergence of the identities and positions of the mediator, fence-sitter, and facilitator is also examined. Students’ work experience, language skills, and physical surroundings are identified as having a potential influence on the use of the aforementioned strategies during the students’ online intercultural interactions.
