My English Club ~ History
My English Club started in 2012 as an online resource of learning and teaching materials, aimed at everybody who's interested in the subject. Children, adults, students and teachers could all benefit from these pages.
I have been working non-stop on the lessons you received weekly since May 2014. When I first I sent those lessons it was for the benefit of my students at Web in Suzhou who could not come to the particular classes I shared - either they were at work, or they studied at the other Web centre in town - it didn't matter. I only thought there was value in sending those lessons and encouraging my students to subscribe to the e-zine.
Since then, many more students subscribed, from all over the world, just by occasionally finding us, or by recommendation. To all of you who are following my English Corner E-zine - I wish to congratulate you for your sustained effort in learning English and to thank you greatly for showing me I'm not making this effort for nothing. It means a lot to me, as I replied to all of you who thanked me for the privilege of receiving my online teaching sessions.
You probably noticed that I am doing this work in my free time, after I finish a full-time teaching job wherever in the world I may be teaching at the time, and you may have deducted that I don't have a family to go to after work and so many house chores as a normal family creates daily. But I have YOU through our conversation club! This year we are starting the first physical branch of My English Club, for us all to enjoy the real connection between us. To find out more, read more about our plans here.
I would suggest to those of you who are by now convinced of the value this website is offering, to invite your friends to join My English Club, make it your club! It is my vision that My English Club will provide a platform for worldwide events and interactive activities encouraging the creative spirit that’s ready to burst and hug the world. Are you in?
