| Details | The impact and implications of COVID-19 stretch into every educational sector, and adaptability is the key. This paper shares a progressive＂pedagogical COVID-19 vaccine＂ characterized by our Tandem Lessons for the 21st Century Learning project, an ongoing inter-institutional action research (Two language specialized universities located in Taiwan and Japan) investigating the impact of tandem learning among English as lingua franca (ELF) learners at the tertiary level and in global virtual learning communities. This tandem learning project is also evaluated through the lens of the SAMR (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition) framework to reassure quality teaching practices in project/lesson design. We have made a serious commitment to preparing students for the future by leveraging digital communication technologies, both physically and virtually. |
