UConn's American English Language Institute (UCAELI) seeks volunteers to be conversation partners during the summer II session.
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 vary in time during the summer! There is a time for everyone to participate!
If this all sounds great to you and you're ready to volunteer, here's your next step: Email Chelsea Zabel at chelsea.zabel@uconn.edu to get more information about Conversation Class times!
Volunteers are not required to commit to all classes so you can pick and chose when you are available. Have fun!
