== Cormier Method ==
The Cormier method, developed by Helene Cormier, a language teacher at the ''Club d'échange linguistique de Montréal'' (CELM), is an instructional approach that promotes in-tandem learning among small groups of learners with different native languages.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Learning culture and language through ICTs: methods for enhanced instruction|date=2009|publisher=Information Science Reference |editor-last1=Chang |editor-first1=Maiga |editor-last2=Kuo |editor-first2=Chen-Wo |isbn=9781605661667 |___location=Hershey PA |oclc=430984238 }}</ref> The method focuses on engaging participants in conversations aimed at strengthening listening, comprehension, vocabulary, and pronunciation skills.
During the language exchange, participants have the opportunity to interact with native speakers through text, voice, and video chat. Each session typically lasts around one hour, with participants speaking in one language for thirty minutes and then switching to the other language for the remaining thirty minutes. This experience allows learners to gain insights into their peers' cultures while using the target language appropriately.
