About the Program
As a conversation circle facilitator, you provide a group of immigrants (8-10 people) with opportunities such as
- To practice speaking English in a casual and stress free environment
- Deepening their understanding of Canadian culture and workplaces
- Networking with other participants and local people
- A diverse learning environment

Conversation topics can vary based on your circle participants’ interests and learning goals. No previous teaching experience is required. We provide teaching resources and training sessions, and opportunities for observation and substituting before you become a regular conversation circle facilitator. We run a conversation circle once a week for 2 hours at a fixed time based on your preferred delivery method such as online, in-person or blended.
