Conversation Partners Program
Are you a multilingual student who would like to improve your English conversation skills in a one-to-one setting with a student volunteer?
The Conversation Partners Program is for English as an Additional Language (EAL) undergraduate and graduate Simon Fraser University students who wish to be paired with a student volunteer to practice and improve their conversational English in a friendly, supportive environment.
The Conversation Partners Program is accepting registrations for the Spring 2023 semester. Please register today to reserve your spot. You will have a choice to meet your partner virtually on Zoom or in-person on campus.
Eligibility
Current undergraduate and graduate Simon Fraser University students, who speak English as second or an additional or language are eligible.
How to register
Interested students must register each semester using the form below.
A limited number of spaces are available and will be filled on a first-come-first-served basis. If all available spaces become full, you will be invited to join a wait-list for the following semester. If the program is full, other options for you to practice your English conversation include our English conversation small-group workshops.
Once the schedule is finalized at the beginning of each new semester, a Student Commons staff member will contact you by e-mail with instructions on how to book your partner.
Meetings
Conversation Partners will meet for one hour every week throughout the semester.
