e-Tandem Partnerships
Our e-Tandem partnerships allow LRC members to connect and engage with native students of their target language in our partner institutions around the world.
e-Tandem Partnerships
These opportunities are important to:
- deepen our members¡¯ language learning journeys
- promote Â鶹´«Ã½ as a globally inclusive institution
- encourage a member community of interculturally informed global citizens. This takes place through virtual mobility and peer assisted learning
The activity consists of weekly online audio-video exchanges with a partner, lasting around one hour. Participants can have equal time:
- practising their target language
- helping their partner practise theirs
We provide conversation starter guides in each language for participants. They are available to support the pairings through every stage.

Many of our participants have gone on to form great friendships with their partners. They carry on with their exchanges beyond their studies and time at Â鶹´«Ã½.
