English Conversation Program

During the month of May 2024 students meet up on Thursdays at 3:00 pm. The English Conversation Program is designed to assist fluent speakers, such as degree-seeking international students, exchange students, post-doctoral fellows, visiting researchers, and their spouses/partners in mastering spoken language, pronunciation, and skills for daily communication. Student facilitators meet with participants weekly at the QUIC. Space is limited and subject to availability.

Topics:

Each session has tips for communication in daily living, language use, and how to verbally express yourself in various social situations. We look into common colloquial expressions that may be often used.
