The students teach each other their mother tongues or the languages of their education, and study the language of their partner. The students should be native-like in the language they teach, but otherwise the students aren't expected to have had any training as a teacher or language teacher. EOTO teachers instruct students and meet them at least twice during the programme. You meet with your partner regularly, usually once or twice a week. Each language should be studied for at least 20 hours face to face (20+20 hours). In addition to the meetings, you complete homework exercises and write about each meeting on a personal blog. Don't ask your partner to look for exercises or produce learning material! Each student is responsible for their own material and learning.
