English Conversation Hours

a group of Conversation Hours participants at the Language Resource Center

In collaboration with the Language Resource Center, ELSO is offering English Conversation Hours—times for you to engage in social English in a safe and comfortable setting while making friends from across Cornell. 

How to join an English Conversation Hour

How to join an English Conversation Hour: Just drop on by! You do not need to register for an English Conversation hour. And you don’t need to commit to coming every week. Come only to the sessions that work with your schedule. 

Eligibility: This program is available to the entire Cornell community. Undergraduates, graduate students, professional students, postdocs, visiting scholars, staff, and faculty are all welcome to join! 

Schedule: This semester’s schedule is available here: https://lrc.cornell.edu/conversation-hours

Do you not see an English Conversation Hour that works with your schedule? Gather a group, figure out a meeting time, and contact the Language Resource Center or ELSO and we will help you set up a new English Conversation Hour.
