LANGUAGE TEACHING AND INTERCULTURAL EDUCATION: THE TANDEM PRINCIPLE
Abstract
The tandem method is an innovative form of mutual teaching of a foreign language. Using this method allows you to expand the capabilities of language partners in an accessible and interesting way. Both participants in the language pair have a personal interest in mutual learning. In addition, they do not need to look for additional motivation, because they understand that the result of each of them directly depends on both members of the tandem pair.
Key words:
tandem, methods of teaching of foreign language, communication, partnership, intercultural competence, distance learning.
The expansion of international contacts in all areas of human activity, freer access to information, and the rapid development of telecommunication technologies are creating fundamentally new conditions for the field of linguistic and regional studies education. Currently, such opportunities as receiving education at a distance, communication between students and teachers not only within one educational institution, city, but also in other regions of the country, Europe, and the world are becoming increasingly important. With the help of modern information technologies, it becomes possible to receive education not only full-time, but also remotely, not only during the period of compulsory education, but throughout life.
Telecommunications projects, especially interregional and international ones, make it possible to create serious research laboratories for students, significantly expand areas of joint research and creative work, and at the same time take into account the cultural characteristics of different peoples, as well as use knowledge of a foreign language in its true function - as a means of communication.
An educational telecommunications project (at the same time being a curriculum): tandem learning of a foreign language and culture has become a special form of constructing students' educational activities online.
The method of tandem learning of foreign languages and regional linguistics is now one of the most modern and effective. In learning foreign languages using the tandem method, a form of open learning is used, during which people speaking different languages work in pairs in order to learn more about the culture of their partner in order to exchange knowledge from different areas, for example, from school or university life, about the culture, traditions and characteristics of the country of the language being studied.
When studying in tandem, speakers of different languages collide, this makes it possible to define this communicative situation as "intercultural". Intercultural interaction can and should be studied from the perspective of various disciplines. At the same time, the interaction between the volumes of cultural literacy of communication participants takes place.
In comparison with a classic foreign language lesson in Tandem, there is direct contact with the foreign language being studied, as well as with another culture, because both partners bring their own vision of the world and personal opinions into the learning process. Direct communication between representatives of two linguistic cultures requires a choice of language of communication. We can speak of the success of intercultural communication when mutual satisfaction is achieved on the part of all its participants. The tandem learning method using interactive technologies can be applied already in the first year of learning a foreign language. The condition of this method is that each student must write part of the letter (at least half of the text) in his native language, so that his partner can receive more information in the foreign language. The part of the text of the letter written in a foreign language increases along with the acquisition of knowledge in a foreign language. Even if partners write to each other only in their native language, they master the appropriate technique for reading written and printed text, and both of them can study further, because receptive skills are stronger than reproductive ones.
The advantage of tandem learning of a foreign language and regional linguistics based on the principles of telecommunications is that this form of learning is an independent learning process between two individuals. In addition, students acquire important skills:
• the ability to independently study not only one, but also any other foreign languages throughout life and expand knowledge about the culture of the countries of the languages being studied;
• readiness for partnership cooperation
The use of the tandem learning method in foreign language lessons contributes not only to the expansion of knowledge in the field of intercultural relations, which is the main task, but is also the main feature of a lesson focused on the student and his activity. And this helps to encourage students to learn a foreign language and expand their knowledge of linguistic and regional studies in the classroom and outside of class.
