Benefits of book clubs for language learning
A book club is one of the most effective ways to learn a language quickly and thoroughly. Unlike traditional lessons that focus on isolated skills, a book club naturally integrates reading, writing, speaking, and listening - allowing you to develop your abilities in your target language in a meaningful and natural way. The language we use in books is often very different than everyday spoken language. This can be intimidating for students at first, as they will often come across new vocabulary and grammatical structures not previously seen in class or real-life scenarios.
This is where the magic of the book club comes in! We help you to process and master these new vocabulary and concepts in a fun and interactive way. On top of that, you’ll have the chance to improve your spoken language abilities in our engaging group discussions. Your instructor and classmates will often have different opinions and takeaways from the books than you will. The unique perspectives presented in our discussions will allow you to enjoy and appreciate the book on a level that independent reading does not provide.
Welcome to the Global Book Club! We are excited to help you advance and reach your goals.
