Language Café

2009-03-10T16:01:00.000-07:00

As part of the SRC's Conversational English Programme, a Language Café will be

held in the Williams Room of the John McIntyre building from 2.30pm to 4.30pm
on Wednesday 18th March. The aim of this is to bring together International
Students and confident English speakers so that students can get the chance to
improve their spoken English skills and confidence in speaking the language.

The Language Café will involve volunteers moving round and speaking to
international students on a series of topics (think of a "speed dating" format,
just without the dating...) and the SRC will provide tea/coffee for everyone.

If you're interested in attending, either to get help with your English or as a
volunteer English "tutor", then please email Chris Buckland at
c.buckland@src.gla.ac.uk
