Conversation Partners

Course Description

Conversation Partners is a community building class where students with some English experience can engage with English speaking volunteers and instructors that provide opportunities for students to use new English vocabulary words and grow their confidence and comfort speaking English! Students and volunteers share conversation, culture, and food. The goals of this class are to build English vocabulary, listening, and speaking skills. At the end of this course, students will be able to introduce themselves to a new acquaintance and ask and answer "small talk" questions to get to know them.
