Oldenborg conversation courses are 0.25 credit courses focused on improving oral skills and fluency in the target language. Taught by our language residents, they provide a pressure-free environment for students to actively practice conversation through engaging topics and activities. Each semester, students enrolled in conversation courses design, with the guidance of their language resident, a short digital project that showcases their conversational language ability. These language technology projects are conceived of, and developed in, the target language.
