其他摘要:The aim of this paper is to outline classroom tandem by comparing it with informal tandemlearning contexts and other language instruction methods. Classroom tandem is used forsecond language instruction in mixed language groups in the subjects of Finnish and Swedishas L2. Tandem learning entails that two persons with different mother tongues learn eachother’s native languages in reciprocal cooperation. The students function, in turns, as a secondlanguage learner and as a model in the native language. We aim to give an overviewdescription of the interaction in classroom tandem practice. The empirical data consists oflongitudinal video recordings of meetings of one tandem dyad within a co-located Swedishmediumand Finnish-medium school. Focus in the analysis is on the language aspects theinformants orient to and topicalize in their interaction. The language aspects vary depending onwhat classroom activities they are engaged in, text-based or oral activities.
