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!

Mondays at 5pm, led by Terrie Clay and Mary Dwyer
