Abstract
This publication marks roughly a decade of systematic attempts to incorporate tandem learning - both face-to-face and by email into the language curricula of a consortium of European universities. The initial stimulus for this was provided by two large-scale projects. Underlying them was the awareness that the Internet had demolished the barriers constituted by geographical distance and was making possible forms of partnership-based learning hitherto only feasible where different language communities lived side-by-side, or where one set of learners was able or obliged to travel to the homeland of the other.
