This is a case study of tandem learning using a metaverse platform in a Vietnamese-Korean language course. It aimed to explore more efficient foreign language teaching methods beyond traditional approaches. To achieve this, the study provides an in-depth look at the course structure that incorporated tandem learning, the interactions between learners on the metaverse platform, and survey results reflecting their learning experiences and perceptions of this particular approach. This study is significant in that it provided a new learning environment using the metaverse, enabling more active participation from learners. It also integrated the tandem learning method, which allows learners to actively participate in the mutual language acquisition process as both target language learners and as instructors or experts of the partner’s target language. Furthermore, the study is meaningful for its specific attempt to design tandem learning classes using the metaverse, particularly for Vietnamese-Korean classes.

Tandem Language Learning method is a form of autonomous foreign language learning. Its main purpose is to better grasp the target language or understand the target culture. The two learning partners are not only foreign language learners but also native speakers.They are also "experts" of their respective languages, countries and cultures. In this kind of communication, they will break the barrier of language and remove cross-cultural misunderstandings. Tandem Language Learning is a good opportunity to continue to improve the learner's ability to express the target language, as it provides the opportunity to communicate with a native speaker and makes intercultural learning possible. Tandem Language Learning method is also a learning method of PBL (Problem-based learning) model. It not only expands learners' ability to judge language, but also improves learners' problem-solving ability and team cooperation ability. The purpose of this paper is to simply introduce the tandem language learning method that has not been widely promoted in Asia and to analyze the feasibility of applying the learning method in Chinese and Korean language teaching. Investigation and Analysis of Application of Tandem Language Learning Method in Chinese and Korean Classrooms of Korean Universities. Summarizes several problems that have arisen in the application of this learning method, and provide some references for effectively improving the teaching level of Chinese and Korean.

한국어 교육 현장에서 점차 의사소통 능력의 중요성이 강조됨에 따라 ‘유창성(fluency)’을 길러 줄 수 있는 교수학습 방법이 다양하게 연구되어지고 있다. 그렇지만 현 언어교육현장에서는 한국어 학습자에게 의사소통 능력을 키우기 위해서는 교사와 학생간의 교수행위와 학습 행위의 역할 분담을 하여 수업을 진행하고 있기 때문에 한국어 학습자들의 의사소통능력을 키워주는 데는 어느 정도 한계점을 지니고 있다. 이런 교실 수업의 한계점을 보완해 줄 수 있는 하나의 학습 방법이 바로 ‘Tandem 언어 학습법(Tandem Language Learning)’이다. 본고에서는 Tandem 언어 학습법을 바탕으로 실제 한국어 교육 환경에 맞게 적용해 본 후 이 수업을 통해서 의사소통 능력 및 문화 이해 능력 향상, 수업에 관한 전반적인 결과를 분석하고자 한다. 더불어 Tandem 언어 학습법을 한국어 교육에서의 적용 가능성을 검증하여 앞으로 이 연구를 바탕으로 한국어 교육에 맞는 Tandem 언어 학습법의 다양한 유형 및 Tandem 언어 학습법을 기본으로한 교육 자료 개발에 관한 연구가 이루어지는 데 도움이 되길 바란다.
