What is a Learning Circle and how can you run one? Watch the video and find out!

Welcome to English My Way Learning Circles

The Learning Circles are a chance for you to help your family and friends learn English. You are the group leader. Follow the links in each session to download the different materials. They will take your group through the everyday English they need to survive in the UK.

There is a Trainer’s Guide that will tell you how to run a Learning Circle and fourteen fun sessions. With each one, you can learn new words with flashcards, watch and discuss videos about everyday life, discuss how to solve problems, learn some useful everyday phrases and play some games to practise what you have learnt. Have a great time!

In this first session you will find a video guide for group leaders on how to run a learning circle. This will explain what to do at each stage of the Leader’s Session Plan.

You will also find Session 1 School.
