Conversational English
Conversational Partners is a service designed with International students and English
as a second language (ESL) students in mind. A group of students are paired up with
a native English speaker to practice every day conversational English that students
may not learn in class. Such lessons include slang and phrases and context while learning
cultural and dialect differences across states. This group sometimes meet and plan
outings to contextualize their learning. It's a fun way to practice while making new
friends.
