Picking up a tradition started by my own mother here at the Volkshochschule (Honor Nuala Müllan-Hughes) and a request from former students, I wish to offer a course in which we can jointly explore English through the medium of (contemporary) literature. Learners will be expected to read 50 pages per week on average. What we read is to be decided as a group and it is suggested we follow relevant trends in factual and fictional writing. You are encouraged to come to the first session with ideas of what you would like to read.

Are you interested in literature? Would you like to improve your English while enjoying a wide range of literary texts?
This course is designed as a guided book club; we will read, enjoy and discuss various short stories or a novel by contemporary authors. Each session will allow you to improve your current language skills, while giving you the tools to actively participate in our roundtable discussions and related class discussions.

Die Basisausbildung richtet sich an Menschen, die ihre Kommunikations- und Beziehungskompetenzen im beruflichen wie privaten Kontext stärken möchten. Ob in sozialen, pädagogischen, therapeutischen oder leitenden Tätigkeitsfeldern: Die Gewaltfreie Kommunikation (GFK) nach Marshall Rosenberg bietet einen wertschätzenden, empathischen und zugleich klaren Weg, in Kontakt zu treten – mit sich selbst und mit anderen.
