Tandem Learning Exchange Registration Now Open

January 7, 2016

Registration for the Winter 2015 Term 2 of the tandem Learning Exchange is now open!

This program is open to all UBC students, faculty and staff. Participants who wish to practice a language are paired up with someone who speaks this language and at the same time wants to improve in the language the first person speaks. Pairs meet for a total of 9 or 10 weeks for 1.5 hours every week, either at facilitated sessions that take place at the Global Lounge, or independently. In both cases, participants are supported with suggested activities and conversation topics from the UBC tandem Guidebook, as well as by the guidance of trained UBC tandem Volunteer Facilitators.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ The UBC tandem Language Learning Program is a free and completely student-run initiative. If you’re interested in taking part, register by January 20; if you’re accepted, you’ll be notified by January 29, and the program runs February 1 to April 8.
