Get to know books and each other
This is a place for friends and newcomers to Book Club School to meet up and speak about different authors, books and reading twice a month. Join the Members' Club to:
- Be part of the Book Club School community
- Meet up with participants from other book clubs
- Widen your knowledge of books and literature
- Speak English regularly about books and authors
- Develop your presentation skills in English about the books you love
Join Geoff to use and improve your English speaking, practising with other members in an English conversation club online. Talk about everything to do with books and authors - what everyone is reading, books to be read, genres, themes and authors. In addition, each month one participant gives a mini-presentation about a book they love in this online English conversation club.
How it works:
- This online English conversation club is held twice a month: one session led by Geoff plus a "Book Talk" session partly led by a participant
- Level: Upper Intermediate B2 and higher (take the test here)
- I'm not an expert in books - does it matter? No, not at all. All are welcome!
