5. Evaluation` Online questionnaire
I consider it to be a good way of language learning because both
sides teach and learn at the same time and the atmosphere isn’t so
“tense” as in a school or at a course.
It's more relaxed and you are sharing culture, not only learning
language; it's dynamic and it is an opportunity to make
friends.
For me it is more useful than learning a language in a language
school because the emphasis is on language use.

More activities through which we will encourage participants to
set goals, assess their learning progress and find other ways of
informal language learning (in addition to Tandem)Promotion of
tandem language learning outside of the academic context (e.g. in
schools)
