ELC Connect - FREE Weekly English Conversation Class Online
The Old Dominion University English Language Center is excited to offer a FREE weekly English conversation class for members of our local community as well as students in some of our partner institutions in several countries around the world. Participants can join every week or "drop in" at any time. We will focus on building confidence in speaking, improving pronunciation, expanding vocabulary, developing conversation skills, preparing for your career and/or academic studies, and networking with new friends locally and internationally.
If you are interested in participating, please send an email to Laura Ray (LRay@odu.edu) with your name, email address, primary language spoken, and approximate level of English. Please also mention why you are interested in taking the class.
We are also seeking volunteers to help facilitate small group conversations.
