We discuss topics of interest to the group, often drawing from articles from "Spotlight" magazine and other sources.
Looking for a fun course to refresh your English? Whether it’s for your holiday, your job, or just to keep your brain linguistically fit, come and join us. We’ll be using Spotlight magazine, along with other reading materials (e.g. short stories, newspaper articles). Although the emphasis is mostly on fluency, grammar deficiencies will be addressed as needed. All this in a relaxed and positive learning environment!
Our main reading material is Spotlight. This current affairs magazine provides a rich blend of topics which will enable you to practise and hone your speaking skills in everyday life. You’ll expand and enrich your vocabulary and, when necessary, smooth out those recurring grammatical issues. And all this in a fun and informal classroom environment.

Dr. Jan-Piet Knijff teaches Dutch, Latin, ancient Greek, French, English, German, and music. He spent nearly twenty years teaching in American academia, mostly around New York City.
