There is an initial event where students have the opportunity to talk to all the English Friends and discover shared interests. The overseas students become highly motivated to communicate with English Friends of a similar age. 

Organised activities with English Friends are chosen especially for the communication opportunities they offer. Great care is taken to encourage even the more reserved overseas students to participate. 

As the students form natural friendships, contact during excursions is free flowing. Students are exposed to spontaneous expressions that only crop up in natural dialogue. 

We bring English friends into some cultural workshops to provide a more authentic setting, increasing motivation, and encouraging communication.
