English Conversation Club
- Friday
Join the Conversation
Every Friday | 3 - 5 pm | Telus Centre
The English Conversation Club (ECC) is an opportunity to practice your English speaking skills. ECC is a place for students, staff, and faculty from Canada and worldwide to share their perspectives, cultures, and viewpoints on various topics. A chance to see how your world views contrast and compare to others, interact and build relationships with staff and students from across campus, representing all levels and faculties.
We play in and around topics not found in your everyday academic interactions by sharing insights, opinions, and questions. Though the perspectives are varied, the predominant language of conversation is English. You may find new ideas and interesting ways to express them, or you may even find a few new alternative ways to express older familiar ideas.
No registration is required. Drop-ins welcome!

RESOURCES TO IMPROVE YOUR ENGLISH LANGUAGE
“ECC is a safe space to share my perspectives and listen to international peers who often have unique stories to tell. Discussing a variety of topics in English is a plus for international students on the lookout for a chance to hone their speaking and communication skills.”
