Game Day for English Language Learners

On Wednesday, June 12, the CLC Writing Center hosted its first ever ESL Game Day event at the Southlake Campus. Three teams of students competed against each other in a game of Scattergories. The nine participants enjoyed snacks and the opportunity to practice their conversational skills and stretch their working vocabularies.

The event was a fun way to augment our ESL Conversation Circles offered in the fall and spring semesters. We hope to host more ESL Game Days in the future, expanding to the other campuses and trying a variety of language-based games.
