English Extra with MyClub

• Online activities which support your learning and are totally free! Here is the MyClub weekly programme:

Talks in English is a series of talks on a wide range of subjects open to our students and the general public. Past speakers have included award winning author Sebastian Faulks and Head of The Economist's Paris bureau, Sophie Pedder.  We give priority seats to our students for these events.

All talks are usually 45 minutes long and are delivered in English. Each talk is followed by refreshments, giving attendees a chance to practise their English speaking and listening skills.
