Do you avoid small talk because you worry about making mistakes and broaching topics inappropriately? Are you nervous while discussing unfamiliar topics like American sports (football, baseball)? Do you wonder how long small talk should be or how to transition from small talk to academic or professional communication? Do you want to create friendly relationships with peers and professors in both spoken and written English interactions? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, this workshop is for you. This interactive workshop will help you feel confident about getting involved on campus and expanding your Lehigh network.
