Two2Tango: Tandems for teaching the glocalclassroom.

Two2Tango is a professional development course in higher education pedagogy for university educators. The aims of the course are to offer participants opportunities to discuss through a vitural exchange with an international partner issues to do with teaching and learning in the glocal (global + local) classroom. The course ran from 16th December 2024 to 28th June 2025 and is equivalent to two weeks (80 hours) of full-time university studies. The intended learning outcomes are: Implement a reflective approach to teaching practices in glocal classrooms, incorporating principles of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) and constructive alignment. Critically reflect on the cultural diversity of glocal classrooms, drawing on research in the field to inform teaching strategies and assessment methods. Engage in peer feedback processes and respond constructively to facilitator input on personal reflections and teaching practices. Identify and apply appropriate methodologies for managing culturally diverse groups and promoting inclusive learning environments in glocal classroom settings. Adopt an evidence-based approach to develop and refine best practices in course design, delivery, and assessment for glocal classrooms. Integrate principles of transformative education and technology-enhanced tools to create equitable learning opportunities that celebrate diversity and foster collaboration. Evaluate and adapt teaching practices based on reflective analysis, incorporating feedback to continuously improve the learning experience in glocal educational contexts.
