Hello everyone,
I am going to run an English Club with a view leading every member to speak English very well. All the members are pupils who attend or attended secondary schools. And a parent must fill in and sign a written permission or authorization so that I avoid every kind of accident. And I also wrote a code that al the parents must know.
Indeed the club works during the academic or school year until May and in the summer we keep on the activities. This year I would like to invite the parents to come and see what their children are able to say in English and i woud also like to reward the children.
I need you to tell me what should be done and avoided so that every child speak english fluently. I encourage the children who have brothers or sisters at home to join our Club provide they get interested in the Club activities then they cna practise their English together when they are at home.
For now I cannot use my laptop because i was robbed and I have no material then I have to do with what is necessary and that I have.
Most activities we haveduring the Club are dialogues, interpreting, games (spelling, alphabet, yes or no questions) interview and songs. Thy very often dislike practising poems and the interview I plan to lead with does not work well because most pupils don’t speak English when joining the Club. There is also a letters exchange programme. There is also time for explaning a lesson in French to help them improving their results in class. And the lesson can be explained or given by one of us I mean even a pupil.
The Club is not open to university students except when we are on holidays.
My goal, I aim at finding one my pupils to replace the leader I am for they should know we need to work together in order that we reach development in all domain within our society. And they must also understand that no one is eternal where he or she is.
The other battle is about the parents who neglect English and do nbot find it very important. Some pupils who are in high school are going to sit for the national high school leaving certificate then they wil go to university. They all study science and their English is good for several of them.
Thanks in advance for giving me some advice and ideas.
