What are conversation labs?

Conversation labs are weekly 30 minute practice sessions conducted entirely in the target language! (The language you are learning)
We will focus on conversational speaking skills and the content will reinforce what you've learned in class. It is important that you stay up-to-date on the vocabulary and grammar in your course so that you can participate.
You will not be graded on accuracy, but rather participation! Please show up ready to speak and try new things out. Mistakes are how you learn!
Make sure that you make every effort to speak in the target language and use your provided "survival phrases" when you need help!

How do I sign up for my conversation lab?

Either scroll to the bottom or top of this page, then select the level you are studying. Ex: SPAN 101

You'll have the option to select between the following options for labs:

Remote= These labs will take place remotely on Zoom.

Face-to Face= These labs will take place inside the WLRC, in L-144.

Note: If you registered for one format, but would like to switch your format, you may do so at this time.

Click on the spreadsheet with your designated instructional format (Remote or Face-to-Face).

Please enter your ID number into the spreadsheet at your desired day and time.

Keep in mind that once conversation labs begin, you will be unable to change your time or format.

This time is yours and fixed for the semester, just like your language course!

PLEASE DO NOT EDIT THE FORM OR ADD ADDITIONAL TIMES. THEY WILL BE REMOVED.

Complete the "Get to Know" you form, which will be shared with your conversation assistant. This is required to attend the labs, so please be sure to complete it before attending your first lab session!

Visit this page again to find your conversation lab links, if you'll be attending a remote conversation lab.
