English in Action

Non-native speakers of English meet with native speaker volunteer leaders in small groups usually (maximum of four people) to practise English in a relaxed atmosphere. Volunteer leaders benefit from the opportunity to learn more about Hong Kong and its people.

Each group will meet for four sessions at the ESU (HK) premises.
