Improve your language skills in ISYY's Language Cafés!

ISYY’s Language Cafés are starting again!

Do you want to learn new languages, brush up your old skills and meet new people or teach your native language? We have the perfect opportunity for you!

In a Language Café, your peers and friends are your teachers and at the same time, they can be your students. When participating in Language Café activities, you can also earn ECTS credits by either attending or organising a Language Café (UEF students only) and by submitting a few small assignments to Moodle.

Interested?

Join the Language Café info session on Thursday 19 September at 9 am on Google Meet to find out more! You can find the link to the meeting from the 'Read more' section below. The info will be recorded and it will be published to Language Cafés page (link below) to be watched beforehand for the period of two weeks.

If you are interested in teaching a Language Café, fill in the Google Forms linked below and let us know which languages you would be interested in teaching! You can sign up in Google Forms until Tuesday 19 September 12 pm (noon).

Leader training is on Tuesday 19 September at 4.15pm on Google Meet so see you there! (We will send the link to the leader training via email to those who filled in the Google Forms.) Note that participating in the leader training does not bind you to anything! You can just attend the training and decide after that whether you want to become a leader or not.

If we get interested leaders, the available Language Cafés are listed on ISYY’s webpage linked below during week 39.
