About English Corner

English Corner is a fun, free, informal weekly time of tutoring for international students who would like to improve their conversational English skills.  It is open to any international person who wants to attend, including spouses of students, Owens Community College students, and other residents of the greater Toledo area. The topics are unique to each class, so you can attend as many English Corner classes as you like.We practice everyday conversation, pronunciation and speaking skills using a variety of topics and fun exercises.  

We usually serve light refreshments during our in-person meetings and have a great time together.

Some activities have included playing games that use English, watching a video clip and discussing it, sharing about cross-cultural topics, going on field trips, fun events like picnics and cookouts, and much more!

Come and enjoy a combination of friendship and English help!

English Corner Possibilities

 

English Corner Online classes

Covid-19 did not stop English Corner!  Some of our classes are online video chat groups.  This has also allowed some to join from their home country, so some English Corner classes will continue to meet online.  Please fill out the registration form and Wes will contact you to let you know the available days and times for online classes: 
As a bonus, you can now participate in English Corner if you are no longer in Toledo!  Just register if you want to participate.
