Language Circles

Are you a new international student to the U.S.? Are you currently enrolled in ESL? Are you getting ready to study abroad next semester and want to practice the local language? Have you started learning your 2nd, 3rd, or 4th Language? If so, Language Circles is the place for you!

Featuring English, Arabic, French, German, Korea, Portuguese, Spanish and various other Language Circles.  This program was designed to provide international students with opportunities to practice their conversational English or other languages and to learn more about American culture. Language Circles also allows American students the opportunity to interact with international students in facilitating a circle or practicing a foreign language.

The Language Circles are facilitated in groups with one native speaker and 1-4 participants. Language Circles are held once per week at a set time and location, and last 1 hour.
