UConn’s American English Language Institute (UCAELI) seeks volunteers to be conversation partners for the Summer 1 2014 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 advance preparation is necessary, just an eagerness to converse and collaborate.
During Summer 1, Conversation Partners will meet on Fridays from 11 am to 12 noon on the following dates:
May 23
May 30
June 6
June 13
June 20
Classes will be held in JRB and WGC. Volunteers are not required to commit to a full session. Please join us when you can!
