University of Waterloo Culture and Language Exchange Club

As the name suggests, the purpose of this club is to promote the exchange of language and culture between students by forming small study groups. With the multicultural student body of UW, we are able to match up each student's preferred language to learn with other students who are knowledgeable in that language and can teach. This club complements academic language courses nicely, and provide an

opportunity to learn languages in a fun manner. Individual sessions will focus on improving the individual's speaking, listening, and writing (grammar & spelling) skills through lectures as well as fun activities that incorporate students’ hobbies and interests. This also serves as a great opportunity to prepare students who wish to participate in foreign exchange programs. UWCLEC will offer a learning experience with tutors for free! UWCLEC welcomes all undergraduate and graduate students from the University of Waterloo main campus. How does the groups and meetings work? By reviewing student preferences on the signup sheet, groups will be formed composing of individuals with the same language preferences and a suitable tutor knowledgeable in the language. Groups will be small to allow the tutor and tutees to closely work and learn together. Individual Language Groups on Facebook
