Conversational English (CE) is the biggest program at GUTS. The CE program matches UW student volunteers with international partners for whom English is a second language.
The program is a free opportunity for international students to practice their English conversation skills as well as meet people from the campus community and increase their understanding of American culture. Matched pairs are expected to meet for two hours weekly until the end of the current term.
CE program emails a monthly newsletter to turos. The newsletter provides conversation ideas, interviews and activity suggestions. We also proved many worksheets on topics such as idioms, slang, American culture, vocabulary, and pronunciation through Learn@UW
BE A Conversation Partner:
Volunteer with GUTS and be a conversation partner. Tutors do not need an ESL or teaching background to volunteer. Tutors benefit from this program by learning about other cultures and countries. Many students find the program to be valuable preparation for studying or traveling abroad. Volunteers gain valable experience working with people from other countries.
Register online at http://guts.studentorg.wisc.edu or in person at the GUTS office. You will be matched with one or two partners and will meet for two hours per week. There is no need to prepare a lesson plan; the only requirement is a willingness to communicate and an encouraging attitude.
GET A Conversational Partner:
Register for a CE partner at the GUTS office. We will match you with a native or advanced English speaker who will assist you in improving your speaking ability in everyday situations, as well as assist you in learning more about United States culture. Groups meet two hours per week in order to practice English conversation.
