Who are the language partners?
Language partners are native speakers who meet with students during class time. They are not trained language professionals because their role is to help you use the language, not to analyze it. Language partners facilitate learning speaking skills, listening skills, and the learning of vocabulary and culture. Many language partners are international students studying at Drake, while others are members of the Des Moines community. Language partners are NOT teachers. They do not assign course grades or explain grammar.
