About course
Book Club is a course that combines a pleasant topic with useful language practice. If you are a book and English enthusiast, you will feel right at home here. On top of that, you can fit it into any diary you have.
Once a week in the early evening, the course will brush up your conversational English skills in stimulating discussions with your classmates and the tutor. The lecturer will always pre-determine a book title or book excerpt to read when you have time. You don’t have to worry about reading difficult books – we provide adapted versions of books that correspond with your level of English. The themes from the fiction you read are the basis for shared conversation evenings where you can enjoy a variety of creative activities and lively discussions. Most importantly, you will converse in English the whole time.
Who is the course for
The course is suitable for students who have a level of English between B1/B1+ and would like to not only maintain this level but also strengthen their communication. The course has a frequency of 1x60min per week, so it is one of those courses that keeps the language in shape rather than moving it up a level. It is therefore aimed at those who do not have a lot of time, but want to stay in touch with English.

Workshop: Video mania
Folk wisdom says that it’s better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times. When we use videos in our lessons, students get a chance to learn both by seeing and hearing at once. Not to mention we know how many of them love watching videos. That’s why in this workshop we will discuss ways of using them in our lessons and try out some fun video activities. We´ll also look at an online platform
