Foreign Language Tutoring & Conversation Partners
|
There are many reasons students studying foreign language at Yale may wish to seek outside-of-class assistance. While traditionally the common model has been for a student experiencing academic difficulty to meet one-on-one with a tutor, this is not the only instance in which such help might be beneficial. For example, a student preparing to go abroad or recently returned from studying abroad might practice with a native speaker to maintain advanced-level proficiency. Or a student at the elementary or intermediate level who is not experiencing difficulty with class assignments might seek out a tutor with language experience in a particular subject area to get practice discussing a favorite topic. Likewise, students looking for conversation practice at any level might seek a conversation exchange partner (e.g. "I'll talk with you for a while in Language X, if afterward you'll talk with me in Language Y"), or even more complex practice arrangements, such as group conversation meetings.
