10. Be a conversation partner
Rice University’s Intensive English Program, offered through the Susanne M. Glasscock
School of Continuing Studies, is recruiting Conversation Partners. We have approximately
207 students from over 38 different countries in our English as a Second Language
Program, all of whom are looking to meet native English speakers.
Our Conversation Partner Program is not a tutoring program. The main goal is our
students to be able to practice English in an informal setting. The time commitment
required may be as little as an hour a week. We will match you up with one of our
students. Where and when you meet will be decided by you and your partner. No second
language is required, just the desire to meet a new friend and learn about other cultures.
Next session dates: September 8 – October 26.
If you are interested, please respond to fl@rice.edu by September 10, 2009.
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Oguzhan Turk,
Enrollment Coordinator
