Online code of conduct

We are very excited to invite you to CIE Virtual Conversation Cafe where you can meet people from different countries and practise your English in a safe environment. You might be an ex-student of CIE or a friend of a friend who is looking for opportunities to practise their English and perhaps visit Oxford in the near future. Here’s a fantastic opportunity to meet our teachers and make new friends.

We ask you to adhere to some common rules so that everyone feels safe and comfortable.

  • Please be respectful to the teachers and fellow participants
  • Keep your camera on
  • Use your name (in Latin alphabet) when you join
  • Keep yourself muted when not speaking to avoid unnecessary background noises
  • Dress appropriately
  • Make sure your environment does not display any inappropriate images
  • Switch off your mobile phone 
  • Actively participate but try not to dominate the conversation 
  • You might be divided into smaller breakout rooms, please use English at all times
  • The sessions might be recorded for quality assurance and promotional purposes. Only the teacher can record
  • No videos or screenshots will be taken and shared by the participants
  • Please do not share the link, but you are welcome to refer anyone interested to our website

If for any reason CIE teachers believe that your online behaviour is inappropriate, they will remove you from the event and block you from entering any future events.

If you do have any questions or concerns about the online behaviour of other participants, please contact Irma immediately at [email protected]

Please check the full CIE e-safeguarding policy.
