Study Guide

Objectives (course unit)

In Each One Teach One (also known as Tandem in some universities), the students teach each other their languages and culture in pairs or small groups. The course brings together students from various cultural and language backgrounds. The pairs or groups schedule their meetings independently, and each student keeps a learning diary on his/her teaching and/or learning process. It is recommended that each student acts both as a teacher and a learner, but it is also possible to participate only as a teacher or a learner. The pairs or groups are encouraged to meet in different settings and engage in various activities during the course. The students develop their skills in a given language, learn about other cultures, as well as improve their teaching and group work skills.
