Speaking support

Transcript

Steve: Conversation Groups is an informal gathering of students led by a Conversation Leader.

Steve: If you are an international student, and you were to come to one of these Conversation Groups, I think you’ll find it beneficial.

Steve: It's a way to improve your confidence, to improve your English speaking skills, and make friends.

Majid: For me it was very successful because when I arrived here my English was not good. I couldn't communicate with other person, but now I can communicate, I can go out, and I'm very happy.

Kay: The good thing in here is I could make a lot of good friends and I met amazing leaders, and I've learnt a lot of Australian culture too – like spiders, surfing! That’s why I like to be here.

Alex: Really, there are so many opportunities for international students to get confidence about language because sometimes you can feel alone at UTS because it's such a big place, you know, and just really so many people.

Rose: If you are an international student, you are so welcome to join our group because you can share a lot of interesting things and find good friends with you, so come, come, come!

Narrator: To join in on conversations, just turn up. Check for session times on the HELPS web page.
