Different settings

There are several different forms of learning in tandem partnerships at the RUB:

  • In a face-to-face-tandem the tandem language partners individually arrange a time and day to work together.
  • In group tandem courses up to 25 tandem language partners meet daily for two to three weeks as a part of a group. Group tandem courses are part of the courses regularly offered at the ZFA and are organized in cooperation with other universities.
  • The eTandem provides the opportunity to learn with learners via email (non-simultaneous communication) or via chat, messenger or Skype (simultaneous communication) - individually or in groups (group eTandem courses).

More information about all group (e)Tandem courses at the ZFA you find here.
