Conversation Groups
What are Conversation Groups?
Conversation Groups are designed for international students to practise their spoken English. It’s a very social, fun and relaxed setting where everyone is encouraged to talk about a wide range of topics. These can vary from your experiences on campus to getting a job, Australian colloquialisms and slang, Hollywood gossip and games. We also occasionally delve into deep and meaningful world and social issues.
Why should you join?
Aside from all the cool new people you will meet, Conversation Groups enable YOU to speak up when you want, discuss things YOU are interested in and provide an opportunity for YOU to share YOUR experiences.
Participants find that the friends they make in Conversation Groups are the ones they stay in touch with. Common interests and experiences of being an international student are shared (along with emails for MSN that are swapped), along with lots of laughing and social activities.
Want to get involved?
All participants can join for FREE!
For more information about Conversation Groups please come to BESS (E4B 106).
Conversation Groups are for everyone to join, not just Business and Economic students but also SIBT, linguistics, NCELTR, translation course students, undergraduate and postgraduate.
