JTC: Chinese Conversation Hours PrerequisitesNew£
This conversation hour offers learners with an independent conversational ability (B2/C1 level upwards) a chance to practice speaking Chinese with others in a relaxed and informal group led by a native-speaker facilitator. The content of the sessions is decided by the participants, with members taking turns to propose a topic and source materials (newspaper articles, web links, videos etc.) to use as a basis for discussion. The groups are ideal for those who wish to retain or improve upon the language skills they already have or for those studying for a language degree who would like another forum for interaction at upper-intermediate to advanced level.
