Advanced Reading Comprehension - Rugby

 

This series reviews publications related to the sport of rugby : for example match predictions, reviews and analysis, club and player profiles, and the history and rules of the game, from straight reports to commentary and analysis. The series is partly General English and partly English for Specific Purposes, and while everyone is welcome, players, former players, coaches and fans of the sport will likely find it more engaging. 

These are Knowledge and Understanding discussions so prior reading and consideration, and the sharing of personal views and experiences is expected. Each session considers a text (650 - 1000 words) and are challenging but accessible to those with a C1/C2, and you are reminded that it is "the task and not the text" which matters. Texts are sent to participants the day prior to allow for pre-reading.The session reviews specific instances of English Vocabulary, English Grammar and English Usages, and the text's explicit meaning is considered, with some exploration of implicit meaning as time allows.

Ask us about a closed session where you choose who, what, when or to be placed on the interest list for the next open session.
