What does a coordinator do?

As a coordinator, you share your language and culture with others while actively contributing to student life. Join us and enjoy a vibrant, international environment!

The basic tasks of a coordinator are to:

  • Provide topics and get the conversations started
  • Make sure that conversations are flowing smoothly
  • Try to make sure that all participants are included
  • Ask and answer questions

Coordinators are expected to:

  • Join the meeting room five minutes before the cafe starts to check in
  • Notify Språkstudion in advance if they are unable to attend

What you get:

  • The opportunity to share your language and culture with other students
  • A chance to get to know new people and make friends
  • Experience of leading a group

Certificate

If you participate as a coordinator at least 8 times during the semester, you will receive a certificate issued by the director of the Language Studio.

Schedule

The schedule for the Language Cafes is decided at an information meeting at the beginning of the semester. The schedule is based on your availability as a coordinator.

The language Cafes are typically held once a week for each language.
