ESL Conversation Groups
If you are a Purdue University student or scholar whose first language is not English, our Lab's conversation groups are a terrific way to improve your fluency and expand your vocabulary. The conversation groups are also a great way to meet other Purdue community members, share perspectives and experience, and learn more about other cultures.
As a participant, you choose the conversation topics that are most interesting and useful to you. You will discuss these topics with other group members and a Writing Lab consultant who can help you with vocabulary and expressions you may not know. The goal of the conversation groups is that you learn to speak more comfortably about topics that are important to you.
To participate, please come to the Writing Lab, 226 Heavilon Hall, a few minutes before any of the scheduled times below. There is no need to apply or register. Please drop in!
