Become a Conversation Partner!

· Conversation Partners are students who are fluent in a foreign language who provide other students with speaking, listening, and communication practice. They do not teach grammar or help with course work.

· Rate of pay: $8/hour

· Up to 2 hours per week conversing in the language of study

To become a conversation partner, you must have a professor recommendation and fill out a 17X application. Visit the Academic Skills Center webpage for more information.

We are currently seeking Japanese, Russian, French and Spanish Conversation Partners! However, you may also apply for other languages as we are still receiving requests.
