Foreign Language
The Language Tutoring program provides resources for students seeking to find a language tutor or a conversation exchange partner. For undergraduates who are experiencing academic difficulty in a specific foreign language course at Yale, the Language Tutoring program provides one-on-one tutoring for a limited number of sessions per term. For purposes of eligibility, "academic difficulty" is defined as currently earning or likely to receive a grade of C or below in the course. An instructor who judges that a student needs such assistance should refer the student to the Center for Language Study Web site to fill out the simple application to obtain a private tutor. For students who are not eligible for such tutoring, either because they are not enrolled in language courses or are not at risk of earning a C or below, the Center for Language Study offers access to its Tutoring and Conversation Partners database. Through conversation exchange, a native or proficient speaker of one language agrees to meet with a similarly qualified speaker of another language for the mutual improvement of their listening and speaking skills in these languages. For more details on these programs, please consult the Center for Language Study Web site or contact Howard Barnaby, CLS Program Coordinator, 370 Temple Street, 432-8196.
