Conversation with Native Speakers??

Hey, guys! I got this e-mail from another teacher- and I want to share it with you! I think you will be excited!!


Dear teachers,

25% of our students told us they want it! Now they can have it--conversation with native English speakers!

Who: All LCC students on a first-come, first-serve basis
What: Conversation Club- a drop in program where students engage in conversation facilitated by a native speaker (UH undergraduate students and alums, including Fulbright applicants & English majors)
When: 12:30-1:30, every Monday and Wednesday, starting on Monday, October 15 and ending Wednesday, October 28 (Weeks 5-11)
WhereOberholtzer 2nd floor
Why: to practice speaking and listening

The conversation guides will also be inviting students to participate in some fun group social activities, such as attending a football game together, having lunch or dinner together, etc.  We'll be advertising these events to all students via the bulletin board and Facebook....so stay tuned.

This is a drop in program, so there is no need to sign students up. Students will be grouped by levels (ie 1&2, 3&4, and 5&6), and themes and questions for each group will be level-appropriate. We are maxing conversation groups at 10 students/guide, so our students can experience an authentic conversation. There will be 6 guides (PAs), so we can accommodate the first 60 students that show up.

Please tell your students about the program and that it starts on Monday. Students that attend 5 or more sessions will receive a certificate.




What do you think? Get going!!
