ESOL reading: book club (level 2)

• read fiction with confidence
• increase your active descriptive vocabulary including of people, their moods, emotions, thoughts, physical appearance, of places and their characteristics
• recognise and use formal and informal dialogue
• read for meaning including following the implications of what is said, not said and hinted out
• give your opinions and reasons for them in a sophisticated way
• express yourself precisely and imaginatively
debate and discuss with others recognising and responding to their point of view.

You will need a pen, and a file to keep your work in. Your tutor will provide handouts and worksheets.

This will be an exciting and dynamic course. It will be based around learners participating and sharing their readings, opinions and thoughts, respecting the contributions of each other while working under the guidance of the tutor. You will need to do reading outside the classroom in preparation for each class.
