Conversation Classes

Conversation classes are held from 5:45 to 7:00 pm on Thursday afternoons during school terms. (See News and Updates for class dates and details of changes from the usual arrangements.)

​

We cater for Intermediate and Advanced levels of conversation.

​

The aim of the Conversation classes is for students to practise and improve their English conversation skills through participating in activities and exercises that students do in groups of 2-4 with a teacher.

The teacher in each group explains how to do the exercises, helps students in their conversation exercises, and discusses with students any pronunciation, vocabulary/usage or grammar issues as they arise - in a sensitive manner.

​

We are also keen to have fun and encourage friendships while we learn.

​

Conversation class exercises will often start by students asking each other questions from a list on a particular topic, and each student in that group answering each question in turn. Weekly topics include: My home country; Catching public transport; Shopping and restaurant experiences; What I think about Australia; Holidays and travel; Useful expressions and sayings in Australian English.

​

Students are encouraged to express their ideas and feelings, and to develop conversations beyond answering the questions being asked.

​

There is no charge for attending Conversation classes.
