This friendly English conversation class is designed for adult learners at a pre-intermediate level who want to build confidence speaking English in everyday situations. Held at Lionel Bowen Library in Maroubra, the sessions focus on practical speaking, listening and vocabulary in a supportive community library setting. If you are a busy parent helping a family member improve English, or an adult learner yourself, this program provides structured weekly practice and useful ESOL skills.
You can expect relaxed, interactive lessons that prioritise spoken English, real-life vocabulary and confidence-building activities. The teacher encourages participation through pair work, group discussions and role-plays that mirror everyday tasks like shopping, appointments and community interactions.
The classes are tailored to pre-intermediate learners and suitable for migrants from non-English speaking backgrounds. Sessions are held weekly on Mondays and aim to be welcoming and inclusive, with a focus on practical outcomes and gradual progress.
Parents will appreciate the clear structure and achievable goals each week, as well as the supportive environment offered by Randwick City Library staff. The program also offers a chance to connect with other local adults and practice English in a friendly community setting.
