The Reading Group
About the series
In The Reading Group, we bring together listeners, students of English, literature teachers and other contributors from the world of books to share their enthusiasm for reading.
If you'd like to share your experiences of reading books in English as a foreign language, you can join our BBC Learning English group on Facebook (see link below). We'll have topics on the Discussion board linked to the subjects covered in The Reading Group programmes.
The series – first broadcast in 2002 – was produced by Amber Barnfather and presented by Gary Stevens.
Part 2
We discuss ways to improve your vocabulary by reading in English, and we visit the home of the famous lexicographer, Samuel Johnson.
Part 1
In today's programme we discuss some of the difficulties of reading in a different language, and we also visit an English language club in Russia.
