UPEI International Relations Office is Recruiting Conversation Partners

| International

The UPEI International Relations Office (IRO) is recruiting volunteer Conversation Partners for its summer programs. The IRO hosts an English Language Summer Camp where students participate in English Academic Preparation (EAP) courses in the morning and fun, educational activities during the afternoon. The camps will be ongoing through the summer from July 24 through August 28. For more information, please visit http://projects.upei.ca/englishsummercamp/.

The IRO is looking for volunteers to participate in activities with these visiting students. Volunteers will be encouraged to become Conversation Partners, to help fellow students learn, and develop their English language skills.

This opportunity will allow you to learn about another culture, participate in fun socio-cultural activities, and help students practice their English. Please contact Nouhad Mourad (nmourad@upei.ca) or Teresa Tu (jtu@upei.ca) with the UPEI International Relations Office for more information on how you can get involved.

Highly qualified and experienced English language instructors work very hard to help students make improvements in speaking, listening, and to improve their overall confidence in using English. Students share their cultures and learn about things such as Anne of Green Gables and LM Montgomery, sustainable energy, and Canadian Culture and History.
