Why we decided to run a book club

K-&-Q-cover

Why we decided to run a book club?

Firstly, science proves that reading is good for you! 6

People who read books live longer according to Yale University researchers; who studied 3,635 people older than 50 years old and found that those who read books for 30 minutes daily lived an average of 23 months longer than non-readers did.

The practice of reading books creates cognitive engagement that improves many things; including vocabulary, thinking skills and concentration. It also can affect empathy, social perception, and emotional intelligence, the sum of which helps people stay on the planet longer.

It is a fact that successful people are readers. This is because high achievers are keen on self-improvement and want to learn new things.

Why not trade wasted time on your phone for flipping pages in bed, on the train, during meal breaks or whilst waiting in line?

You might think that a book club is just a place for bookworms to indulge in their passion, or a place for them to have a debate about their favourite characters with like-minded individuals. With the King’s & Queen’s Club, this is certainly not the case! Our book club is open to everyone and offers lifelong benefits to students through the acquisition of knowledge as well as new skills.

Why we are different:

Bringing Learning Into FOCUS

FOCUS is a five-level course for upper-secondary students, structured to promote motivation, memory and meaning. Clear and intuitive lessons provide an exams-orientated learning path for both state and private school students. The Word Store, unique to Focus, helps students better collate, retain and revise vocabulary.

FOCUS on 3Ms

FOCUS methodology is built around the 3Ms – MOTIVATION, MEMORY and MEANING.
These key concepts underpin the benefits of the course for learners and signal its pedagogical effectiveness to teachers.

FOCUS on Motivation

A motivated learner is a more successful learner – FOCUS is brimming with topics, texts and tasks that engage students both intellectually and emotionally by referring to their life experience, and the things they aspire to. Accordingly, language is brought vividly to life through grammar animations and interactive videos, which make learning with FOCUS both entertaining and effective.

FOCUS on Memory

One of the unique features of FOCUS is the approach to learning and retention of vocabulary. On top of comprehensive exposure to and recycling of lexical items, the course offers Word Store, a vocabulary practice booklet with a wide variety of exercises and a unique method of involving learners actively in recording new words and phrases.

FOCUS on Meaning

FOCUS is built on content students want to read, listen and talk about. Every exercise is relevant to students’ lives through frequent personalisation, ensuring that, with FOCUS, they are engaged every step of the way.

Focus with MyEnglishLab

Adds to the value of homework in the learning process

MyEnglishLab is an interactive online workbook containing automatically-graded exercises. Both the students and the teacher get insight into the results: the student receives feedback on any mistakes they may have made, whereas the teacher always has an overview of the progress of the class as a whole, as well as each individual student. As a classroom management tool, MyEnglishLab saves teachers time and effort and allows them to differentiate and teach effectively.

An English Language Teaching course with MyEnglishLab not only leads to better results, but it also increases students’ motivation and adds to the value of homework in the learning process. Thanks to MyEnglishLab, there’s more time for real communication during lessons.
