TANDEM (R) is a bicycle designed for two riders both involved in getting forward. We have taken this word into our method of learning by exchanging languages. There are both types of TANDEM (R): The one-to-one-TANDEM (R), a totally autonomous way, and the bi-national TANDEM (R) class. In order to improve academic cooperation and ongoing teacher training, most of the tandem (R) users themselves established the Foundation "TANDEM (R) Fundazioa" which offers training for methodology for all needs and levels, from nursery schools to university, introductory course and self access package for tandem (R) users in different settings, e.g. antiracist 'Interkultur-Tandem (R)' and multilingual 'Babylonia-Tandem (R)'; research registry and material bank; language learning by exchange in presence of the partners or via E-mail; support of the "International TANDEM Conference".
