From:  Prof. Elisabeth Gareis, Communication Studies

The Conversation Partners Program (CPP) matches native and nonnative speakers of English for informal conversations. It is a great way for nonnative students to gain confidence in English, for native speakers to gain experience in communicating across language barriers, and for both native and nonnative speakers to expand their cultural knowledge, make friends, and build a network of professional contacts. To participate, students should be willing to commit to meeting their partner about one hour per week.

Note: The CPP often has more nonnative than native students signing up; i.e., please encourage both nonnative and native speakers to participate.

For more information and to sign up, see http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/cpp

The deadline for signing up is Friday, Sept. 9th.
