BookClub for Non-Native English Speakers

Gain confidence in your discussion skills by participating in our BookClub for Non-Native English Speakers. Each month, you'll read a book selected by our staff and the members of the club and then, on a Sunday afternoon, you'll discuss the book with other members of the club and a member of our staff who serves as the discussion moderator. Tea and coffee will be served during the discussion. Admission: purchase a new copy of the selected book from our shop (the purchase price includes a ¥1000 monthly membership fee).
As of 01 September 2010, our BookClub for Non-Native Speakers is not accepting new members.
