Programs in English as a Second Language (PIESL) are designed to help international and non-native English speaking students develop the English proficiency and academic habits necessary for academic success during their degree programs here at the university.
Volunteer with PiESL this fall and gain extensive opportunities to interact and work with individuals who come to us from all over the world. As a PiESL English language volunteer, you will work with their instructors in creating English practice and campus involvement opportunities for their students. Examples include conversation tables with other American students, Intensive English Program (IEP) Club activities (monthly), campus/community event and activity updates through our Facebook page, periodical classroom visits, and monthly faculty newsletter coordination and distribution. It’s a great way to gain global experience right here on the UNL campus and important skills if you plan to apply for post-graduation opportunities like Fulbright, JET, TAPIF, or jobs teaching English abroad.
