Language Partners
INTO UAB’s Language Partners Program is a language and cultural exchange program for international students to meet with native speakers of English for friendship and language practice. For domestic students at UAB, Language Partners provides a way to practice cross-cultural communication, get to know someone of a different culture, and perhaps even practice a language that you are studying as well.
