UConn's American English Language Institute (UCAELI) seeks volunteers to be conversation partners for the Spring 2014 semester.
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 advance preparation is necessary, just an eagerness to converse and collaborate.
Conversation classes will be held every Friday during the semester from 11 am to 12 noon, beginning January 31.
Volunteers are not required to commit to a full semester. Come for one day or more!
