IREX in cooperation with Education USA held a Book Club on February 25, 2012 at the American Corner. Attendees were secondary and high school students, and other adult readers who want to practice English and develop their language skills. They read the New Yorker article “Mother Courage” based on a true story by John Colapinto. They were also given active vocabulary with explanations as the text was harder to read for younger readers. Then the article was analyzed and discussed in details, and everyone gave their own opinion on problematic issue. The club was well attended and participants asked for the next reading club. |
