English Conversation Partner Program

About the Program

The English Conversation Partners Program is an International Programs Office initiative that matches international students interested in meeting with fluent English speakers in the Moscow area to practice conversational English.

Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you are a native English speaker or want to practice conversational English, this program creates a safe bridge to build conversational skills and provide enriching cross-cultural engagement.

Availability

  • Conversation Partners are required to meet for at least one hour each month throughout their commitment to the program for the semester.
  • All participants are advised to attend the Welcome Back Picnic hosted by the International Programs Office at the beginning of the fall semester.

Each English Conversation Partner gets to decide how many students/scholars they would like to be assigned.

We understand that there are often unforeseen circumstances that may cause participants to withdraw from the program. If this happens, please email ipoprograms@uidaho.edu.

Right now, there isn’t a specific Language Exchange Program, but if you are interested in a language exchange, contact the IPO Program Coordinator at ipoprograms@uidaho.edu.
