| 概要 | Teletandem is an active learning practice where a proficient speaker of one language pairs with a proficient speaker of another, and through regular voice/text/video chat meetings (using an application such as Skype), each helps the other learn their target language. The learners exercise and develop autonomy as they negotiate the timing and content of the sessions, the tools used, and approaches to correction and feedback. This narrative study explores the tandem experiences of one undergraduate learner of English, studying at a private university in Japan, who engaged in weekly tandem activity for 17 months with an American learner of Japanese, organized through their universities, which are partner institutions. The story illustrates the affordances of tandem activity for the maintenance or development of language skills, for sustaining motivation to learn, and for personal growth through the building of deep, strong bonds with a teletandem partner. |
