The student knows the essential items of the language and culture of a target country.

The students in tandem pairs independently organize all the required sessions (46 hours) and write a learning diary on each session as well as on cultural events to the supervising teacher. Furthermore, the student writes independently a final essay of the outcomes of the course. The student prepares with his/her tandem partner a presentation of the main issues of the sessions for the final meeting of the course. The student uses English as a working language.

The course is a reciprocal language and intercultural communication course in which the students are paired with a native speaker of the target language to work on a series of learning tasks. The paired students work independently, but the study process of each tandem pair will be guided by a tandem instructor.
