Conversation Partners Program

The Conversation Partners Program is a FUN, FREE program open to all international and native English-speaking students, faculty, and staff at KSU. At the start of each fall and spring semester, international participants are paired with native English-speaking partners in a mutual exchange of languages, cultures, and friendship. Partners are asked to meet at least six times during the semester at places and times of their choosing.

The Conversation Partners Program welcomes hundreds of participants each fall and spring semester, and these participants represent dozens of countries from every region of the world.

“I am deeply thankful for the chance to be part of the CPP program. The program offered me the unique opportunity to meet and befriend with people from various backgrounds, enriching my life and broadening my worldview. These interactions have provided invaluable insights into diverse cultures, enhancing my appreciation of the world. Most crucially, the CPP program played a pivotal role in improving my English skills. It provided a nurturing environment that perfectly aligned with my primary goal of language mastery. I am immensely grateful for the growth and learning this program has afforded me.”
