SCIS English Conversation Groups

Groups of 4-6 international students meet once a week for informal conversation with a native English group leader. This program offers students an opportunity to learn more about the American culture and exchange ideas while practicing English and developing English language skills. The groups are formed on a first come, first served basis and scheduling depends on the availability of the group leaders. Please check at the reception desk of the Slutzker Center for sign-up forms once you have registered for classes and have an address and phone number where you can be reached.  Write to lescis@syr.edu with any questions you may have and/or speak to Riet Dekleermaeker, the founder and coordinator of the program, at the front desk.  This program is open to students and scholars and their families.
