Collaborative Language Learning with a Web-Based Tandem System in South Tyrol

Johann Gamper and Judith Knapp

Abstract

In this paper we introduce a Web-based tandem system which provides opportunities to establish language learning partnerships between learners for the exams in bilingualism in South Tyrol. The system includes a contact forum and a small text corpus which is linked to a dictionary. Each text sample includes a set of questions which should be answered by the learner and sent to the learning partner for correction and feedback. Adaptation technologies are applied in order to support autonomous use of the program.
