Hapuna Beach Trip

On Saturday, June 7, some IEP students went to Hapuna Beach to spend a day having fun on the white sandy beach and in the nice cool ocean. This was my very first IEP weekend trip and it was a very memorable experience. The students had a great time playing on the beach and at the same time had the chance to practice their English with conversation partners. I even got the chance to learn more about each student after spending the day with them. After going on this trip with the IEP students I personally recommend any new or continuing students to take advantage of the weekend trips that the program offers. It's a good way not only to practice using English, it's also a great way to make new friends!

Weekend trip to Pahoa and Kalapana

Aloha from Hilo, Hawaii! ^_^

Last weekend, the IEP students and the conversation partner, Justin, and I went to Pahoa and Kalapana as the IEP weekend trip. We enjoyed swimming at hot pond and watching the lava ocean entry from Kalapana side.

Airport pick up service

Aloha from Hilo, Hawaii! ^_^

Hawaii Community College IEP provides personalized assistance with off-campus housing arranements, airport pick up with apartment check in, and shopping and weekend trips.

It's a great chance for the IEP students to learn English outside of the classroom with their conversation partners.

What is the IEP conversation lounge?

Aloha from Hilo, Hawaii! ^_^ Thank you for visiting the IEP Conversation Partners Blog. My name is Emi, assistant of Hawaii Community College Inteisive English Program (IEP).

Once a week, the IEP students have time to talk with a native conversation partner for one hour. They practice real English conversation, and learn how to express their ideas in English. Most of the IEP students said the time made them motivated to study English.

We look forward to you joining us soon! Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have a interested in studying English in Hilo Hawaii! ^_^

IEP Conversation Lounge

Hi! My name is Tiffany Balala and I'm a conversation partner and tutor for IEP. The Conversation Lounge is an excellent way for students who are learning English as a second language to interact with people who speak English. It's an educational and very fun way for students to learn the language!
