Language ExchangeWhat is the Language Exchange?
The Language Exchange is a program that promotes language learning through student partners sharing their native languages.
After a successful Language Exchange in Winter 2003 during World Languages Week, the Listening and Speaking Lab began to offer this program for two weeks each quarter.
Our Language Exchange will take place in the Winter quarter 2009 from February 17 to February 27. Applications are available online and in ATC 304.

How The Language Exchange Works
It's simple! You exchange your native language for the language you are learning in one or more 60 minute sessions in ATC 304.
For example, if you are learning Mandarin and your first language is English, you will meet with a Mandarin native speaker who is learning English to practice your languages together.
This program is a lot of fun and you can sign up for as many sessions as you have time for!
In Fall 2008, 74 students came together in ATC 304 to share their languages which included English, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish and Farsi.
How to Apply
You need to fill out an application first, and then we will contact you by e-mail with information about your exchange schedule and partner(s).
You can print the application form from our website or pick it up in ATC 304.
