Conversation Partners
The Conversation partners program allows international students to practice spoken English with English-speaking students in casual settings. This program encourages American and international students to interact with students from different cultures and promotes the intercultural understanding among students. The participants will meet for an hour with the English speakers and can have conversations of their choice.
