What are Zoom Salons?
Practice listening and speaking in discussion circles through Zoom with a professional teacher and other learners. Participants watch a video clip (less than two minutes) or read an article (300 to 500) and meditate on some questions beforehand. We share opinions and ideas during the 55 minute Zoom Salon. Sandboxes for beginners are less intense; join in to see what we do!
Who can come? A Salon has three or four people, but it’s not a class. I use it as a no-cost “add on” for current students, former students, prospective students and friends of friends to practice their social English skills in a group setting.
When and how often?
We meet several times a week, usually late mornings Toronto time, which is EST or UTC -4. I am slowly adding other days and times to accommodate other time zones. You can check your time zone here: www.worldtimebuddy.com
Summer 2025 … and new groups in September!
This project began during the pandemic and was put on pause in December 2023. UPDATE: As of summer 2025, some Salons and Sandboxes are back up. Contemplating group lessons and a year-long program for September 2025.
