The English Chip: Book Club Edition

The English Chip is a work of original fiction in 16 chapters, about a student, ‘Charlie’. Charlie’s in Australia, studying English, but English is so hard. He just wants to have fun, not to study all day! Then he sees a notice: INSTANT ENGLISH! VOLUNTEER NEEDED.

Instant English? It all sounds so easy.

Soon Charlie is part of the English Chip experiment—but experiments can go wrong…
 
Each chapter ends with a narrative hook. Over the course of the story, Charlie has to question his own decisions and values, and gets into more and more trouble, giving plenty of opportunity for discussion.

The story is told at ‘entering intermediate level’, and is aimed at adult and young adult learners. It would suit learners at strong A2 or B1 in the CEFR levels, or EAL3 in Australia.

Like the other Book Club reading books, this version of The English Chip includes:

• the story, exactly as in the paperback edition, with book club questions at the end of each chapter
• permission to photocopy for learners, or share on screen or online (see the licence notes in the preview)
• audio files, which can be downloaded here, or found directly by learners at thebooknextdoor.com/audio
• a bonus ‘after you finish the book’ set of questions for teachers, which can be found on the website: thebooknextdoor.com/book-club-books/

The Preview package offers sample pages you can trial with your learners, and explains the terms of use. There's an 'Extra Information' page at the front with tips on any Australian situations/usage, plus what to do if you don't use A4 size paper.
 
If you decide to purchase, the eBook (that's the pdf file in all the files you see below) will be stamped with your email address in extremely tiny font at the top of the page. Please contact me on info@thebooknextdoor.com if you have any queries!
