TELETANDEM
“It is a new distance and computer
assisted mode of learning foreign
languages
in-tandem
that
makes
extemporaneous use of oral and
written
listening
production,
reading
comprehension
and
and
webcam images of the participants.”
(TELLES, 2006, 2009; TELLES e VASSALLO, 2006, 2009;
VASSALLO e TELLES, 2006, 2009)

What are TELETANDEM sessions?
About 25
minutes’
interaction in
the native or
fluent
language
About 25
minutes’
interaction in
the foreign

Teletandem
Session: a Skype
meeting
About 1 hour
10 minutes’
feedback,
reflection,
evaluation,
planning
A regular teletandem session
(not chatting nor a private lesson)
• Focus on form and

Conversation • Taking notes;
Language
feedback
Shared

Applicants would apply by filling a form
and then receive a message from the
Coordinator of the Project when paired up
with a foreign student with the same
profile;
No attendance of an instructor;
Autonomy to decide when, how and how
long;
Now...
Institutional
Partner universities contact UNESP
Teletandem Center professors so that the
Brazilian center can create interaction
groups;
 Main issues to be considered: number of
students, dates and time changes
 Orientations sessions can be provided
 Instructors accompany their groups to their
home lab facilities for Teletandem sessions

Implementation




Foreign students have their sessions during their regular
Portuguese class, which means, same time and same group
the entire semester, whereas for Brazilian students time
changes accordingly and as it is not their regular foreign
language class, they apply for a certain group as a volunteer
study according to their time availability.
Time changes - Brazilian instructors and students have to fit
foreign universities demand or requests.
School calendar is something else to adjust for both parts.
Teletandem practice cannot be part of UNESP Letras course
curriculum for the reasons above. What some professors do
is to encourage students to practice the foreign language by
considering the session hours as part of foreign language
lab activities, still voluntarily.
