About the Conversation Network The Conversation Network is a unique opportunity for language and cultural exchange. It provides a forum for Drexel students to meet and interact with English Language Center (ELC) students. Native English speakers can help an ELC student practice English while the ELC student helps the English speaker learn a second language. Or the exchanges may focus on other areas like life in other countries, customs, cultural differences, or cross-cultural communication. You can find a partner whose interests match your own. The Conversation Network does not match or find conversation partners for people who participate in the program. That is the responsibility of the participants. We will provide a list of the participants that includes their names, native language(s), language(s) they are interested in practicing, areas of interest, gender, preferred meeting times, and e-mail addresses. It is up to the participants to look for potential partners and contact them by e-mail. Then it will be up to you and your partner to decide the rules: when and where to meet; when to speak in one language and when to speak in the other; whether you only want to practice language or want to do other things too, like go to the movies, cook, play games, etc. The ELC hosts a Conversation Network party during the second or third week of each term so all our participants can meet each other. Check the website or watch your e-mail for the date, time and place. There's always free pizza, soda, games and lots of new people to meet. If you have any questions or suggestions, stop by the ELC or e-mail us at conversation.network@drexel.edu
