| Summary: | The “Bologna–München” Tandem is an ongoing collaboration, started in 2011 by Nicoletta Grandi at the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich and Sandro De Martino at the University of Bologna. The aim of the collaboration is to give students the opportunity to experience interculturality through interaction with native speakers of the target language. Interactions between students take place in two different forms: through a course-integrated tandem in the form of lessons via Skype and through face-to-face encounters organized during study trips. The Bologna–München tandem thus combines telecollaboration and student mobility in order to promote a linguistic and cultural exchange, as well as an awareness of interculturality. The term “tandem” refers not only to the students’ situation in the classroom but also to the collaboration as a whole. |
