Here is an opportunity for non-native English speakers to improve conversational English language skills.

International Graduate students can practice speaking English in a fun and informal setting. Sessions are free, and you do not need to register -- just show up! Students can attend as many sessions as they wish, and no homework is assigned. English Conversation Groups are a great way to meet new people, strengthen your English language skills, and learn about American culture.

Individual Conversation Group schedule begins Tuesday, February 17, 2009 through Monday, April 20, 2009.
