Are you looking for a safe and supportive space to practice your English conversation skills? Check out Dashew Center's English Language Circle (ELC)! Here you will have an opportunity to practice your English with other language learners. The circle is led by a native English speaker, who will help you become more confident in your speaking skills and who can answer your language and grammar questions. All of our ELC sessions will take place on Zoom this Winter 2026. Space is limited to 20 participants per session. Participants are welcome to enjoy their lunch during these sessions. The Zoom link will be shared via email upon registering. Please email us at intlprograms@saonet.ucla.edu with any questions.
