This paper outlines the development of an e-tandem initiative between universities in Austria and Ireland and discusses its relevance to the Swiss context. Students in the two institutions study Business English and German for International Business respectively. As a core component of these modules, they exchange application materials and provide each other with feedback in a virtual environment.
