CONVERSATION PARTNER PROGRAM

  • Would you like to get to know one of our students from Asia, the Middle East, Europe, South America, or Africa?
  • Would you like to brush up on your Japanese, Chinese, or Arabic?
  • Would you like to practice speaking English with an American?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then sign up for the Conversation Partner Program at Old Dominion University! 

       Application for International (Non-Native English Speaking) Students

       Application for American (Native or Native-like English Speaking) Students

Send an email with your completed application form to elc@odu.edu with 'Conversation Partner' in the subject line or call 683-4424 for more information.

The ELC matches international students and Americans so they can practice each other's native language or learn about each other's culture in informal settings. Participants in the program meet with their Conversation Partner for at least thirty minutes each week at a time and place that is convenient to both students.
