UConn's American English Language Institute (UCAELI) seeks volunteers to be conversation partners for the first session of the summer!
UCAELI students come from all over the world to study English. As part of their coursework, they participate in conversation classes with volunteers from the UConn community. It’s a rewarding experience for all involved, as students get the chance to practice their conversation skills in an informal situation, while volunteers get to meet interesting new people and gain cross-cultural perspectives. UCAELI instructors will provide a topic for discussion or an activity and remain in the class to facilitate. No advanced preparation is necessary, just an eagerness to converse and collaborate!
Conversation Classes will take place on the following dates/times:
Friday, May 22, 2015 11am-12pm
Friday, May 29, 2015 11am-12pm
Friday, June 5, 2015 11am-12pm
Friday, June 19, 2015 11am-12pm
