International Center: Conversation Partners
The Conversation Partner Program is a one-to-one tutorial in which volunteers help learners build confidence in conversational English and support their adjustment to life in New York. It pairs English learners with English speaking volunteers who have been trained to help learners improve their communication skills, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Specialized topics include practice for the U.S. Citizenship interview and job interview preparation.
The International Center requires its volunteers to:
· Demonstrate native English fluency.
· Demonstrate an interest in and sensitivity to other cultures.
· Possess good communication skills.
· Use active listening skills.
· Develop the content and structure of conversation sessions based on the learner’s needs and language goals.
