Look Who's Talking

Become a Conversation Circle facilitator

Submitted by Debbie Denault, CLCS

he Fraser Valley Regional Library and the Chilliwack Learning Community Society are very pleased to inform you that there are spaces available for a Sat. March 19th (morning) Conversation Circle Facilitator Training session. This free training is for any adult in Chilliwack who:

• Has been trained as a volunteer tutor, or

• Wishes to become a volunteer tutor, or

• Would like to participate as a volunteer in an existing
  Conversation Circle, or

• Has an interest in establishing a new Conversation Circle with ESL
  learners somewhere in the community

A Conversation Circle is an English language pronunciation practice group for people learning English as a second or additional language. Conversation Circles are fun, lively and packed with lots of activity and practice. They
are a perfect program for immigrants in the community who wish to improve their conversational skills.

The 3 hour (9:00 a.m. - noon) training session will take place at the Chilliwack library, and will include exercises, games, topics of discussion, resource materials, and practice, to enable participants to plan and facilitate Conversation Circles.

Please register by sending your name and contact information to Annette Williams, Chilliwack Learning Community Society Assistant here.
