Intercultural Partner Project (IPP)

The Intercultural Partner Project (IPP) is a tandem project of the English Department at the Language Centre.

What are the benefits for the German participants?

  • You will get to know students from North America.
  • You will take part in a hands-on intercultural communication course throughout the semester and learn how to interact with people from other cultures.
  • Through the weekly meetings with different tandem partners, you will improve your language skills and participate in intercultural exchange with your partner.
  • After successful completion of this project, you can get a course certificate (“Schein”) with 4 Credits in English.
  • By taking part, you will show that you are interested in intercultural interaction which will look especially good on your resume or CV.
  • You will have the opportunity to develop an international network, which might be extremely helpful if you are planning to study for a semester in North America.
  • By participating in the excursion, you will strengthen the communication and interaction with the American students.

What does this program look like?

  • First, all students who would like to take part fill out a registration form which asks about what you are studying, what you do in your free time and whether you meet the requirements.
  • Everybody meets at the welcome meeting on the first day of class.
  • Throughout the semester, all participants take part in a weekly intercultural communication course.
  • In the weekly tandem meetings, the tandem partners discuss tasks set in the communication course, improve their language skills, and reflect on intercultural issues.
  • The German and American students take part in an excursion.
