Abstract

The aim of this paper is to describe the development and the results
of a virtual language tandem between Spanish and German language
students from the Universities of Trier (Germany) and Murcia
(Spain). The sessions of the language exchange, which took place in
pairs via conference weekly during a term were recorded and served
as the basis for the development of an evaluation grid, the validity
of which was subsequently tested on the project results. A survey, in
which the participants were asked about intercultural aspects and their concrete personal development in this regard, was used for internal
evaluation and to check the achievement of the project goal.
Both evaluation methods turned out to be valid tools for assessing
intercultural competence.
