Book Club

Improve your English-speaking skills by reading and discussing the passages in a laid-back, fun, friendly atmosphere. 

When it comes to book clubs for ESL learners, they aren’t structured like a typical book club. The students will all read the same book, but more often than not, they aren’t taking the book home and reading it on their own. They meet with an instructor at set times during the week and read the book together.

The purpose of this is to ensure that students not only hear the correct pronunciation of words and have unfamiliar words defined for them, but the meetings also help students understand what’s going on in the story and learn about the intricacies of the English language.

Reading is a fundamental part of any language, and book clubs create an environment that is inclusive and open for students to express themselves and learn the basics. These skills can then be taken into other areas of life, including the work place.

Not only will reading help when it comes to safety signs or understanding the employee manual or other documentation, but students will also gain experience in expressing ideas and opinions, which can be beneficial when interacting with coworkers or supervisors.

Book clubs don’t necessarily feel like a traditional class, which can be incredibly important when it comes to learning English. Sometimes, things need to feel “fun” for a person to truly comprehend the lesson. By participating in a book club, students are exposed to the world in words, and this can help them learn a new language and express themselves in every aspect of life.

Book Club meets on Mondays from 5:00 to 6:00, and on Thursdays from 10:00 to 12:00.
