Conversational English - Spring, 2022
Developing great communication skills.
In Blacksburg, many students and scholars arrive at Virginia Tech proficient in the skills of reading and writing English. Being able to communicate verbally, however, remains a challenge. International Students, Inc. offers English Conversation Groups to assist internationals in becoming comfortable in one-on-one or group conversations.
Evening Conversation Group: Bob and Carole Dellinger meet on Tuesdays from 6:00-7:30 PM. The class is in person and in their home. They talk about the Blacksburg area and information that can enrich the lives of international students, visiting scholars and spouses. Participants often share photos of their activities here and of their home countries. The goal is conversation practice, not teaching English. Sign up for Evenings on the form below.
Update: the group is currently online for the Omicron surge. We expect to be back in person late in February.
Women's English Conversation Group: This class for women only, led by Sandra Jackson and Lee Alba, is held weekly at Northstar Church on Tuesdays at 10:30 AM. Northstar's location is 3929 Prices Fork Road in Blacksburg. Please sign up below! New women are still welcome to join this group!
