More speaking. More interaction. More YOU.
For the new 24/25 academic year, and beyond all of our FREE English speaking clubs hosted by a British native speaker will be taking a new approach — designed to give you more opportunities to SPEAK and speak directly with other learners.
Our traditional format worked well: the native speaker asked a question, chose someone to answer, followed up, and repeated with another person. But we want to give you more speaking time — not just more waiting time.
So here is what the new format will look like…
You join and are welcomed by the native speaking host.
Everyone introduces themselves briefly: name, where you're from… and the colour of your socks 😊
The host introduces the topic and shows 2–4 starter questions.
You are sent to a breakout room with one other person to discuss the questions for around 7 minutes.
Everyone returns to the main room. The host asks a few people for their answers and follows up naturally.
The host asks a new group question. This part works exactly like the “classic” speaking clubs.
You see another set of 2–4 questions. Then you return to breakout rooms — this time with a new partner.
We believe this new structure is more practical, more interactive, and more beneficial for you.
This new approach will be used only in the FREE Online English Speaking Clubs hosted by a native speaker.
The BiG English Speaking Club, Paid Speaking Clubs, and the sessions in the Online English Speaking Course will also make the change. Any groups with just 3 people will of course work the old way.
