Conversation Circles are a volunteer program sponsored by the English Language Institute (ELI) which was started more than thirty years ago to promote intercultural exchange and to provide international students and scholars at U-M with opportunities to practice English in an informal, casual setting. In each Conversation Circle, a small group of non-native speakers of English (up to 6 people) are paired with a native-English-speaking volunteer for a weekly hour-long conversation. For more information visit the Conversation Circle Website

Clinics are staffed by ELI lecturers or by GSIs working under close supervision of experienced faculty. For more information visit the Language Clinic Website
