2 MATCH YOUR LANGUAGE PARTNER! AUTONOMUS LEARNING IN THE 2.0 ERA OF INTERNET A WEB PROJECT FOR LEARNING LANGUAGES Classroom is a key context but is insufficient (David Graddol). Main issue in language learning: Oral Interaction. Solution If you are not able to travel… Look for a Language partner! The language partner is someone who speaks the language you study as their native language and is studying your native language. The partners then meet (…) to help each other practice and learn a foreign language. (The Mixxer, Dickinson College).
