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.
