Culture and Language Exchange

The Culture and Language Exchange matches the ELI students with UA students who would like to meet an international friend. Some of these students are studying the ELI student’s native language. Once matched, these pairs or groups of students meet as often as they like for conversation practice in English and possibly in the ELI student’s native language. Complete the Culture and Language Exchange request form to request a language partner.

International Coffee Hour

International Coffee Hour is held on each Friday during fall and spring semesters, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in Room 121 B.B. Comer Hall. Come and enjoy free coffee, tea, snacks, and conversation with our friends from around the world. Visit the International Coffee Hour webpage for more information. All international and American students, scholars, faculty and staff are welcome to join.
