Our Teaching Philosophy

Learning English shouldn’t be a boring chore. Our brain works best when the content is interesting and relevant to us. At The Global Book Club, we make sure the material is fun and engaging.

Here’s how our clubs can help you improve your English:

1. Increase your vocabulary: Books introduce new words and expressions in context, allowing students to guess their meaning more naturally and expand their vocabulary.

2. Boost speaking and listening skills: Our weekly group video sections are the perfect opportunity to practice speaking in an enriching, supportive environment. Your fellow students are from a wide variety of countries and being exposed to different accents will help you become an expert at interacting in your second language in a diverse international setting.

3. Improve your critical thinking skills: Books are filled with big ideas, challenging questions, and moral dilemmas. Our discussions will encourage you to deeply analyze universal themes, express your opinions, and back up your ideas. We will practice active listening techniques and ways to respectfully agree or disagree with others’ opinions. These are essential skills for both academic and professional success.

4. Build confidence and enjoyment in reading: Reading doesn’t have to be a tedious, dull task as many have come to believe. It can be magical and open you up to new worlds! Analyzing the deeper meanings of books can help us appreciate them on a deeper level. Developing a love for reading can help you connect with yourself and the world more profoundly.

5. Make friends and join a community: Our club is a great place to meet other language learners from all over the world! As we discuss our ideas together and get to know each other you’ll find yourself making friends with people from places you’ve never imagined!
