Conversation Partners Student Org at UWM

ps international students become more comfortable speaking English and gives them a chance to ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in class. They can also learn about American culture and gain perspective on what it is like to be a student at an American university. The program also gives UWM students the opportunity to get to know a student from another country and learn about another culture without leaving Milwaukee! It also lets the student see what the UWM experience might be like for an international student. Some students who are learning a second language are able to participate in language exchanges with partners who natively speak that language, allowing the conversations to be half in English and half in the international students’ language. We hope that the Conversation Partner Program will bring two students together and allow them both to gain perspective and a friend.
