Limited opportunities for language practice, especially productive skills, have constantly been a concern voiced by language learners. Recent technological advancements have addressed this need through mobile applications. One such application is <i>Tandem: Language Exchange</i>, bringing together language learners with similar goals worldwide to practice their language of interest. To this end, this review evaluated the app in focus: An introduction, utilizing the technology for language teaching and challenges in using the technology for language teaching, and a conclusion. Following this framework, the evaluation revealed that the app provided customized learning preferences and fostered productive skills practice, multimodal feedback, and intercultural awareness. However, the misuse of the app, the participants’ linguistic expertise, the potential emergence of cultural issues, and data security raised concerns over its use. Ultimately, the review recommended the app as an educational opportunity and an entertaining digital learning environment.

This paper examines some historical, cultural, and institutional processes involving a Jewish minority from the Russian and Azerbaijani Caucasus, now mostly displaced in the huge and multiethnic Moscow: the Mountain Jews, or Juhuro. These Jews were subjected to a historically multifaceted and endangering diaspora, but they have been making big efforts to preserve their identity and survival by means of accommodating, mimetic, and cultural strategies. In the present day, despite the few representatives living in the Russian capital, the community is striving to find its own niche to transmit its history, language, and tradition within the multicultural “salad bowl” city of Moscow. More changes and transformations are at stake to preserve their long-lasting ethnic, religious, and linguistic characteristics. This paper is devoted to analyzing such elements, in an attempt to explain why and how Juhuro seem likely to succeed in preserving their religious community by innovating it in spite of their minority position within a globalized society.
