Improve your conversational English

CHAtS, short for Conversational Help and Support, is a program for international students who want to improve their English to help with their studies and adjustment to life in Australia. The program is a practical way you can improve your conversational English in an informal setting. It’s attended by mainly English as a second language (ESL) students, and develops English skills through fun, conversation-based activities.
