Individual English Conversation Program

Coordinator: Carl Clough

What does the program offer?

 

The Individual English Conversation Program offers an international graduate student or visiting scholar the chance to meet one-on-one with a Friends volunteer to practice English conversation skills.

 

How does the program work?

An international graduate student or visiting scholar meets with a volunteer tutor for at least one hour per week, at a time and location to be mutually determined.

Encouragement and friendship are the key components of the Individual Conversation Program. Each session provides the student with an opportunity to speak English in a comfortable and informal setting. Tutors help in any way they can.

Tutors and students often use magazines, newspapers, or photographs to talk about daily life, world events or cultural differences. Tutoring sessions often take place on campus, or even at café in town.
