Are you looking for an opportunity to improve your English speaking skills?
While ASC 101 is not designed to work on improving students' English speaking skills, Stony Brook offers additional programs that can better suit your needs, including:
English Pal gives international undergraduate and graduate Stony Brook students the opportunity to practice their conversational English in a casual setting with a native English speaker. At the same time, domestic students will be able to meet and learn from people of different cultures and languages. Each international student is paired with a native English speaker based on their application submissions, which provides insights into their interests, school year, and availability. Events are held throughout a full semester to allow pals to meet with other pals, in addition to creating a diverse community within the campus. More information can be found on SB Engaged.
