Be proactive and introduce each other to possible learning materials, methods & approaches.
Reflect together on how effective and motivating the different tasks were after trial, discuss possible alternatives with partner that allow you to pursue our learning goals.
Discuss how and when we want to correct each other (for example, which mistakes, how often…).
Be patient with each other.
Repeat incorrect sentences correctly (teacher echo).
Take notes of mistakes and discuss them at the end of a session. Record ourselves with a voice recorder and listen to the recording together.
I want to be fluent, and able to communicate in the target language. Set goals for me and my language partner and pursue them with determination. Reflect after each meeting on how far it contributed to reach our goals. Give each other feedback.
