概要 | Teletandem is a practice where a proficient speaker of one language is paired with a proficient speaker of another, in order that they can help each other learn reciprocally using text, voice, and
videochat on an application such as Skype. Two linked institutions can set up these tandems for students, providing orientation and support. Teletandems may be integrated with courses, or students may autonomously manage their own learning in ‘free’ tandems. This study explored the experiences of eight ‘free’ teletandem participants using an interview approach. Based on the students’ voices, the three main points that were associated with successful teletandems were: positive attitudes toward learning foreign languages, a similar age group and background, and sympathy and open-mindedness toward speakers of the target language. |
