This book opens up new lines of debate in language learning and
intercultural communication through an investigation of tandem
language learning (a method of language learning based on mutual
language exchange between native speakers and learners of each
other's language) in connection with intercultural learning and
identity construction. Through an empirical study of face-to-face
tandem conversations, Jane Woodin provides compelling evidence for
the re-definition of the tandem partnership beyond the traditional
native speaker-non-native speaker (NS-NNS) paradigm. By analyzing
conversation shapes, learner identification of self and other and
interactants' own focus on culture, this book reveals how
interactants themselves address the complexities of language,
learning, ownership and meaning. The book also questions the
prevalence of models of intercultural competence which describe the
competence of the individual, with little recognition of the role
of the relationship or interaction. Woodin considers the broader
applicability of the tandem framework of autonomy and reciprocity,
and suggests new directions for further research on tandem
learning.
