The VCL offers both tutoring and conversational opportunity for many languages taught on campus. These sessions are generally held in the VCL office Furman 001. While tutoring is a more structured and targeted form of help, our conversation hours are a less formal social gathering that gives students an opportunity to practice a language with others. For those sessions that are tutoring and conversation combined, the host will gauge the need of specific attendees.<\/p>\n
