This class is for B1 or B2 students who are interested in reading and discussing interesting articles selected for English learners. You will receive a short article to read before the lesson. There will be a vocabulary list to help you with any words that might be new to you, so you have an opportunity to increase your vocabulary prior to the start of the lesson. Students have the option of reading different English-level versions of the same article, but we will discuss the contents together as a group. In this lesson, we will talk about food and culture. The lesson will be informal but informative. You are welcome to bring your coffee or tea, kick off your shoes and come and join us for a relaxed but productive English conversation.
