English conversation class (Gungahlin)
Libraries ACTThe role: Lead conversations with migrants, discussing general issues and popular topics in a supportive environment. Connect people to library resources and services that are relevant to them. Volunteers will ideally work with one or more other volunteers, either leading or assisting to facilitate group discussions. If possible, participants should be grouped by skill level. Participants are not required to register and the composition of the group changes from week to week. What you'll do: Prepare activities such as discussion, role play and comprehension to help students practice their spoken English skills, working with other volunteers where available. Exercises may be focused on a particular topic according to a schedule. Participate in and lead English conversation sessions in a culturally respectful and engaging way. Liaise with the group organiser about availability. Follow the TCCS Code of Conduct, including the Respect and Equity Framework and Privacy Policy. Time commitment A regular day during term time. Face to face for 1.5 – 2 hours, plus approximately 2-3 hours preparation (shared among volunteers). A roster will be organised by the group leader at the start of each term. Depending on the group, you may volunteer every week or every fortnight.
