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.
