I am looking
for International Studies students to pair as
Conversation Partners
with
International Graduate Students for an hour a week of cultural exchange, for
about six weeks. The day, time, and place is to be arranged between you and
your partner at your own convenience.
The graduate
students are enrolled in Second Language Studies T502, “Communication Skills
for International AIs” and want to learn about American culture, campus
culture, you and your experiences, and how their undergraduate experience was
the same or different from yours.
You will be given a handbook, to use if you want, with
suggested topics, questions, and meeting places to spark conversation. The
handbook is a jumping off point for conversation.
We will have an initial gathering to introduce the partners,
probably next Thursday, 9/20 at 5:15, but after that you arrange your own
meeting times and places to suit your schedules. If you can’t make the
gathering, you can be paired via email.
For the past several years, students from International
Studies have been wonderful volunteers.
If you can
spare an hour, we’d love to have you participate.
Please
contact me: bmercero@indiana.edu
Looking
forward to hearing from you.

Merceron, Instructor SLST T502
