English Conversation Classes 

Conversation Partners - With a view toward helping international students achieve academic milestones, we offer connections with conversation partners to assist in overcoming the real hurdle that English poses along the way. Conversation partners also provide a way to develop friendships through weekly times of English conversation between native speakers and international students.

Contact Liz Godwin at lgodwin@isiwebnet.net

Friendship Partners - Friendships develop through monthly meetings inside or outside an American home, with weekly phone or email contact made between the Americans and the international students.

Contact Liz Godwin at lgodwin@isiwebnet.net

Professional Partners - another way to develop friendships is through Americans mentoring international students who are preparing to enter the same profession. They meet each other on or off the job site.
