Student AffairsThe 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.
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.
Winter sessions for 2026 have concluded. Sessions will be offered over the summer - information coming soon.
Much more is offered - for the many supports in Academic English skills, such as writing, presenting, and more, please click here.
