Conversation Practice Club for Teens: Small Talk to Deep Talk
A weekly club for teens ages 14 to 17 who can chat but want to get better at real conversation. Each week practises one skill, from small talk to talking about something that matters. This is a skills class, not therapy.
Class Experience
Members pair up and rotate, like a friendly speed-chat. The teacher gives each round a focus, such as open questions, listening without planning a reply or sharing an opinion. The group then talks about what made a conversation feel good.
How classes work
The club meets every week for 50 minutes with up to 8 learners. There is no last class: each meeting stands on its own, so learners can join in any week and stay as long as they like.
Example weekly themes
Openers – Start without awkwardness.
Open Questions – Invite longer answers.
Listening – Reflect back what you heard.
Going Deeper – Move past small talk.
Disagreeing Well – Stay curious.
Closing – End a conversation kindly.
Learning Outcomes
Open and close a conversation comfortably
Ask open questions and listen to the answers
Move from small talk to a real topic
Share a view and stay curious about others
Prerequisites
Ages 14-17. For teens who can already hold a short conversation. This is a skills class, not therapy.
