Embedded Files
This section is dedicated to free events organized by the teacher for all students to meet, connect, and get to know one another beyond the regular coursework.
Don’t fret—there’s no homework involved!
The aim of this teatime activity is simply to help ourselves read more than we usually do when reading alone — and to enjoy doing so in a group: sharing different perspectives, making analogies with other works of literature, and finding enjoyable ways to do it in English.
Here we practice reading on more relaxed terms than the way we approach them in the Conversation Gym:
☕ all activities take place in the main session — there’s no work in Breakout Rooms (where students maximise their speaking time);
☕ the meeting is twice as short as a regular course session (only one hour)
☕ there’s no in-depth analysis of grammar topics — it’s all about keeping things light and stress-free.

❓ WHAT KIND OF ACTIVITIES CAN YOU EXPECT?
The backbone of the activity will be reading a book that has been chosen based on how palatable it is for everyone and how many “tasty” curiosities we can find in it.
Other shorter reads are perfectly welcome in our meetings, as well as descriptions and curiosities that can be read online.
What matters most is bringing something we might wonder about or something we can connect to the main reading we follow across our meetings.
❓ WHEN DO THESE EVENTS HAPPEN?
Since the teacher is usually busy during the week, events take place on Saturdays or Sundays at 4pm.
Because weekends are also for relaxing, these events run for six consecutive weeks, followed by a break of roughly the same length.
