The sessions promote social connections, intercultural dialogue, and a sense of belonging. The goal is to enhance English fluency, comprehension, and confidence.

Learning Outcomes: Participants will be able to:
1. Employ effective spontaneous communication skills in social, academic and professional settings.
2. Elaborate on their viewpoints and opinions in group discussions.
3. Construct clear and well-structured responses during impromptu conversations.
4. Apply appropriate turn-taking and active listening techniques in casual group discussions and more formal academic discussions.
