Tandem language learning can be defined as a form of language and intercultural learning where two people with different native languages work together in pairs in order to learn more about each other's characters and culture, help each other to improve their language skills and exchange knowledge. The language tandem includes meetings between the students, meetings between the students and the tutor and a report, video or learning diary about the meetings in English/French. The reports or learning diaries discuss customs, culture and cultural differences, differences in native languages, your own language learning process during the tandem, studying in Finland/the exchange student's home country.
