About This Club
The MDC Small Talk Conversation Club is a student-led organization designed to help ESOL, REVEST Program, Intensive English, and EAP students improve their English speaking and listening skills through relaxed, small-group conversations.
The club creates a welcoming and supportive space where English learners can practice real-life communication, build confidence, improve their conversation skills, and foster meaningful connections across cultures. Through peer interaction and cultural exchange, participants have regular opportunities to use English in a comfortable and inclusive environment.
Fluent English speakers are also encouraged to join as conversation partners and mentors, helping support English learners and create a positive learning community for all participants.
For more information about joining as a conversation partner or mentor, please contact:
