How tandemMOOC can help your students?
tandemMOOC helps students connect with native or expert speakers of the language that they are learning, giving them the chance to practise speaking in the foreign language outside of a formal learning context. Learners are able, therefore, to consolidate their classroom learning by participating in tandemMOOC. The nature of the course also helps students develop intercultural competence and digital skills.
Learning aims of the course
• Practise fluency, spontaneity, and intercultural communication is a safe and comfortable environment.
• Take part in conversations on topics related to current issues and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), explaining and justifying their own points of view.
• Practise basic communication strategies with speakers all over the world.
•Develop learner autonomy in their foreign language and be able to evaluate their own and their partner’s oral communication skill, reflecting holistically on their own performance.
Ways to integrate tandemMOOC into your courses
There are different ways of working with us:
