Dear my colleagues,
I am going to organize an English club for my students aged 18-22. The club will be for
beginners. What activities are we going to do? Please help me with ideas, activities, suggestions.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hello, I think you could prepare a magazine together( i myself prepared one with my pupils and it was successful as well as enjoyable).you might encourage them to write articles,design games,puzzles,draw pictures... |

if they like music - and you �re quite musical yourself - you could organize a choir (like in Glee) and sing/learn songs in English...

You could organize dinner or tea parties. Each student prepares something typical for a meal. |

Get the students to make a list of their interests....things they �d be interested in learning about/ discussing. Ask them which areas of their English they �d like to improve (e.g. speaking skills) and what they expect to achieve by attending the club (e.g. learn more collequial English etc). This will help you choose materials.
I like the magazine idea that basma_zerelli suggested. Also you could make comics. Have a look here
Also you could use short videos and discuss them. You can find a lot of interesting ideas and short films & lesson plans here
Music is always a good idea.
You might also consider a book club...reading adapted books and discussing them.
How about web-searches (if you have internet access) and presentations (by students)?
Why not prepare a play with your group? I showed a short video to my pupils, then got them to write the dialogues etc & finally we acted it out. It was good fun.

I have also tried blogging, which is nice because they can practice reading and writing and you can post interesting links etc. and film-making this year (for example they make short films about a certain topic and then you can watch them together or use them as a way of revising etc.
I wish you best of luck :) |
