Classroom participation and individual/group presentations require you to speak up and present well. The only way to improve is to do it, again and again, with constructive feedback. HELPS provides a safe and supportive environment for you to build your confidence and improve your speaking/presentation skills.

Conversations@UTS

Students group conversation

Conversations@UTS provides a great opportunity to practise your English conversation skills and meet new people in a friendly and relaxed environment. These online one hour group sessions aim to develop your confidence in joining casual conversations – socially, at university and at work. Come and join the discussion!

HELPS Buddy Program

Our HELPS buddy program matches international students with UTS student and staff volunteers. Some buddies exchange languages eg. English/Japanese while others get together once a week and speak English only. It’s a great way to improve listening, conversation and pronunciation skills in an informal, Australian way! 

Connect with your buddy online or on campus!
