Language Learning Tandem
Tandem language learning is a form of autonomous and intercultural learning. Language learning tandems offer the opportunity to improve foreign language skills in a targeted way through interaction with native speakers, while also gaining intercultural insights. You can also choose topics within your own areas of interest and focus on developing specific skills.
Once a match has been successfully arranged, the tandem pairs meet at a location and time of their choosing. Each meeting lasts 90 minutes, during which you’ll use one language for the first 45 minutes and then the other for the next 45 minutes. You’ll meet at least five times in total.
Upon successful completion and submission of the assignments from the five tandem sessions, you have the opportunity to receive a tandem participation certificate. During the semester, the Language Center also offers counseling appointments, optional materials, and meeting spaces.
