"Due to the pandemic, the English as a Second Language (ESL) Center at Kent State University recently moved its English Conversation Partner program online. Once an in-person activity only, the program’s transitioning to a remote environment has actually opened up new opportunities, such as involvement from alumni and additional unique groups and students being able to connect with their language partners regardless of their physical location." Read more about it here.
