***IMPORTANT - It is necessary to buy or download your own copy of the book and you will be asked to read a few chapters each week BEFORE the lesson*** Get ready to learn the secrets of human behavior and start changing your life today because this is the only book that you need to lead you to success! It has consistently been in bestseller lists since it was first published in 1936! And it is just as applicable today as it was back then. These lessons are based on the book ‘How to Win Friends and Influence People’ by Dale Carnegie. The book is easy to read but due to the language and writing style is only suitable for more advanced levels - C1 and C2 We will read the book over 8 lessons. We will discuss the issues and ideas raised in the book. In the lessons we will: 1. Hold deep and meaningful conversations based around the ideas in the book 2. Share our experiences of implementing the techniques in the book in our daily lives 2. Study useful vocabulary and collocations that crop up & practice writing (optional) How It Works: READ: Each week you read the appropriate chapters of the book BEFORE the lesson (Reading schedule available upon booking) THINK: Each week there are questions about each chapter for you to think about and make notes on. We will discuss these questions in the lesson. SPEAK: Join the lesson and discuss the chapters that we have read. SHARE: Join our online community for interesting videos, deep discussion and extra materials related to the book. WRITE: There is also an optional writing task to complete each week. You can submit this to our Google Classroom. This is lesson 2 (there are 8 lessons in total). I recommend joining all of the lessons but I realize that may not be possible. Therefore, it is possible to join individual lessons. Lesson 2 - Please read Part 1: Fundamental Techniques In Handling People Chapter 2 Chapter 3 ***IMPORTANT - Please check the PDF document to see which chapters to read for this lesson***

These lessons will give you valuable practice in all 4 skills - speaking, reading, listening and writing. Reading is one of the best ways to improve your vocabulary, engage with the language on a regular basis and build a consistent studying habit. During the lessons you will need to reference information from the book and paraphrase the author's point of view in order to support your own opinions and ideas. Additionally, you will need to communicate and work together with the other students in order to complete the tasks set by the teacher. I believe these lessons to be a truly worthwhile purchase since not only is this a great book but you will be incorporating several language skills around a topic which you are interested and invested in.
