Talking with Aussies - More Volunteers Needed

The CLPD runs a program to help international students improve their spoken English and learn more about the local culture. The students meet informally with volunteer locals for an hour or so each week and mostly just chat.

Currently there are more students than volunteers available to talk with them, so more volunteers are needed.

More information and application forms are available at: www.adelaide.edu.au/clpd/all/intntnl/. Contact the coordinator Kerry O'Regan via email or mobile: 0408 881 617.
