English Language Institute Seeks Coversation Group Leaders

Tuesday, September 12, 2023, By News Staff

The English Language Institute (ELI) is in need of conversation group leaders for the current semester.  Volunteers are sought to meet in person with a group of students (no more than six) from the ELI once a week from 12:15-1 p.m. at the College of Professional Studies.

This is a casual conversation group where the group leader and students have conversations about a wide range of topics. As the group leader, you pose topics, ask questions, answer any questions they might have about Syracuse University and U.S. culture, and facilitate the conversation.

Some suggested topics are holidays, sports, food, English slang, etc. These sessions provide students with the opportunity to practice and use their English in a less formal setting outside of the classroom.

If you are interested in becoming a conversation group leader, or have any questions, email Kelsey Gillette, international student advisor in the College of Professional Studies, at kgille02@syr.edu.
