Communicating confidently

If you're an international student, join us at the English Conversation Club to improve your English speaking skills through interactive learning.

The English Conversation Club is designed for international students who want to enhance their conversational English skills. It's a social, fun and relaxed setting where everyone is encouraged to talk, share their experiences, practise their speaking, improve their confidence to talk in public and successfully interact with others.
