The aim of this paper is to outline classroom tandem by comparing it with informal tandem
learning contexts and other language instruction methods. Classroom tandem is used for
second language instruction in mixed language groups in the subjects of Finnish and Swedish
as L2. Tandem learning entails that two persons with different mother tongues learn each
other’s native languages in reciprocal cooperation. The students function, in turns, as a second
language learner and as a model in the native language. We aim to give an overview
description of the interaction in classroom tandem practice. The empirical data consists of
longitudinal video recordings of meetings of one tandem dyad within a co-located Swedishmedium
and Finnish-medium school. Focus in the analysis is on the language aspects the
informants orient to and topicalize in their interaction. The language aspects vary depending on
what classroom activities they are engaged in, text-based or oral activities.
