The Conversation Club is an association of MASSIE alumni who have an interest
in maintaining their English conversational skills. Members meet at restaurants
and cafes in Osaka, Nishinomiya and Kobe to discuss various topics in
English. The atmosphere is casual, the schedules are flexible, and
membership is open to all MASSIE alumni.

Messages from the contact people
I'm Jun Hattori, a former leader of MASSIE2003
fall. This time, I will explain about the MASSIE conversation group and
encourage all of you to participate in this group and our activities.
This group was established by Anne Semple, a former MASSIE coordinator
before Adam (maybe you don't know her) to create opportunities for all
MASSIE students to meet up and focus on speaking English through various
activities after MASSIE program. Once you went back to Japan from Canada,
you may realize you have less opportunity to speak English and to meet
up with your friends than you were in Canada for sure. However if you
join us, you can maintain your English ability, enhance it and have lots
of good times with all MASSIE students. Our activity is quite simple:
having coffee or tea at cafe and discuss some topics in English or sometimes
going out to interesting places (e.g. movies, hiking and so on) We all
welcome you to join us...
Hello and welcome to MASSIE Alumni! My name is Anne Semple
and I was the MASSIE
Coordinator from 2000-2002. Each year there are many different alumni
activities, and I hope that I will have the chance to meet you, this summer,
when I am in Japan, participating in some of the many events. MASSIE has
grown into a very big family over the years and I look forward to meeting
you and introducing you to many other alumni in future. If you have any
questions about alumni events, please do not hesitate to contact me by
email at: asemple@mta.ca
