This one semester course is designed for students of the Faculty of Social Sciences who would like to practice a foreign language with their peers. Students of two different languages work with a partner and help each other achieve a specific language goal. Students teaching the target language must be native speakers of that language. Students should set their own goals for language achievement and can also learn about each other's cultures. The main language for communication in English (a B1+ level is recommended). Unfortunately, we can not guarantee that each student will be matched with a suitable partner. For more information please contact us at [e-mail]
