The document discusses using technology like Skype to facilitate tandem language learning. Tandem learning involves two students partnering to practice a foreign language together through communication. Skype allows students to connect with native speakers abroad for language exchange. However, simply using voice chat tools is not enough - students need clearly defined tasks and goals to stay motivated. Educators must be trained to develop effective tasks that emphasize communication and maximize interaction between native and non-native speakers. As technology and online tools continue advancing, their integration into language teaching will help provide students with real-time global interaction and opportunities for autonomous learning.
