Title:
Tandem UFLUV
Project Description:

This project aims to provide students with opportunities for linguistic immersion outside the classroom. Students will schedule synchronous meetings via Zoom during the semester to engage in cultural exchange topics, using the Seagull platform lessons as conversation guides. During each session, students will meet with peers from partner institutions to discuss topics in Spanish and English.

This virtual exchange is a collaborative learning and peer-teaching initiative, where each student helps improve their partner's language skills by suggesting corrections and providing feedback. The virtual exchange project aims to develop oral skills and foster cultural exchange among university students.

Learning Outcomes:
  • Enhanced cultural understanding
  • Development of linguistic accuracy and fluency
  • Positive, engaging, and collaborative attitudes
