 Language learning in tandem takes place when native speakers of two different languages work together in order to
learn each other´s language and develop a knowledge of the target culture and community. Partners have the
opportunity to give each other help through friendly corrections, advice, questions etc. Tandem learning is
underpinned by principles of reciprocity - both partners should benefit equally from the exchange - and autonomy -
each partner is responsible for their own language learning, establishing learning goals and deciding on methods
and materials.


Every tandem pair has own, more specific goals, which have to be approved by the teacher in the beginning of the
working process.
 Tandem is intended to complement other language studies. This course cannot be included in the obligatory
