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 缅北禁地 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.
Why join?
e-Tandem exchange gives participants the:
- ability to access the international experience wherever they are
- opportunity to provide a richer, more meaningful learning experience
It enables participants to develop essential employability skills such as:
- intercultural competence
- critical digital literacy
- problem-solving
- teamwork
- communication
- global awareness
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 缅北禁地.
