It is noted that the introduction of innovative methods in the process of integrated language teaching, namely, the tandem language learning method, is a topical issue. The article analyzes the tandem language learning method in comparison with traditional methods of language teaching and the status pitting it into practice by Ukrainian language teachers. The basic views on the use of the tandem language learning method in research works by foreign and Ukrainian scientists are presented. The fundamental principles of the tandem language learning method are considered: reciprocity and autonomy; the pedagogical context for its implementation is defined; the main stages of communication in tandem are described; the requirements for tandem partners in the process of preparing and implementing communication are formulated. The results of introduction the tandem language learning method in experimental schools and issues that need to be tackled while its implementation, are presented. The positive impact of using the tandem language learning method on the efficiency of forming multilingualism of general secondary education students is substantiated.

Its use helps to overcome language and psychological barriers in communication with tandem partners due to the lack of strict control by the teacher and a number of techniques aimed at supporting effective communication between them (clarifications, questioning, formulating an idea in other words, using gestures, means of non-verbal communication, replacing complex constructions with simple ones, etc.), development of the ability to intercultural communication based on the principles of equality and tolerance.
