Conversation Partners Sign-Up, Fall 2022
Whether this is your first semester as a Conversation Partner or your eighth, thank you very much for being a part of this program and for allowing us to offer it to the students studying Global Cultures and Languages at UWL.

Conversation Partners is a program of the Language Resource Center at 321 Graff Main Hall. It begins the second week of each semester with an orientation session for volunteers. In the third week of classes, conversation partners begin meeting with students one-on-one for fifteen minutes each week.

The program runs ten consecutive weeks throughout each semester, and an eleventh week is available just before finals for students who need to make up a conversation they missed or get extra practice (or credit) before the end of the semester.

Conversation partners are required to attend four monthly meetings throughout the semester. Meeting dates are listed below. If you know that attending these meetings will pose a significant issue for you, please do not volunteer for this program. Conversation partners who have served four or more semesters are allowed one excused absence from monthly meetings.

9/13-14) Conversation Partner Orientation Sessions, 6pm, LRC (321 Graff Main Hall)
9/19-23) First week of conversations
