English speaking club
A conversation club is fundamentally different from English language courses. Basic character traits English speaking club are as follows:
The goal of the English speaking club is to develop primarily Speaking skills and, to a lesser extent, Listening skills. Reading and Writing skills are completely ignored at English speaking club meetings, as is explanation of the phonetic, grammatical and lexical rules of the English language.
Meetings of the English speaking club are not related to each other thematically, so the participant can skip them without affecting the entire course program.
1. There is no need to explain why the venue for an English speaking club should be comfortable for all participants. Let us only note that dim lighting can help create an atmosphere in an English speaking club that is conducive to pleasant communication. It distracts the attention of the English conversation club participants from the interior details and appearance of the interlocutors, which helps them concentrate directly on the discussion.
2. Does the conversation club have to be led by a native English speaker? On the one hand, people prefer conversation clubs with English-speaking presenters. On the other hand, differences in mentality can make it very difficult to create an interesting and relevant discussion. In addition, even in a large Russian city it is very difficult to find a certified linguist teacher of Anglo-Saxon origin who is willing to lead your conversation club. Usually these are students or expats of non-core specialties from around the world, whose language level and teaching skills leave much to be desired. In our expert opinion, the best option is to invite a native English speaker to a conversation club meeting as a guest. In this case, he answers the host’s questions along with other participants in the English speaking club. Of course, like other participants in the English language club, he can ask or answer questions himself, but the initiative to conduct the meeting remains with the Russian-speaking participant.
3. As for the number of participants in an English speaking club, the “golden rule” should be adhered to: when more than 9 people gather, the general discussion inevitably breaks up into several groups. Thus, excluding the host, no more than 8 people should be present at a conversation club meeting at a time, and excluding the English-speaking guest, no more than 7.
4. Most English speaking clubs practice informing participants in advance about the topic of the upcoming meeting, but we strongly do not recommend this! Firstly, a conversation club meeting should simulate as much as possible the real situation of a spontaneous discussion with an English-speaking interlocutor. Secondly, complete unpreparedness forces the brain to work faster, “bringing to the surface deep layers” of knowledge, including from the subconscious. Thirdly, as our experience shows, a regular participant in a conversational English club may miss a meeting just because he was not prepared, or come but feel insecure.
5. We recommend starting the first meeting of the English speaking club, regardless of the level of the group, with the topic “Names”. Firstly, it will help you and the participants of the English speaking club remember their names faster. Secondly, this is the easiest of the conversational topics we offer, and accordingly, a discussion on it will inspire confidence in the participants and positively set them up for further visits to the English language club.
6. Main mistake What the leaders of English speaking clubs do, in our opinion, is that they ask a question to the whole group and wait for whoever wants to answer it. As a result of this practice, the same extroverts usually speak at the meeting, and some introverts leave the English speaking club without saying a word! Of course, this is completely unacceptable! To avoid this monstrous mistake, the leader of an English speaking club should ask the same question personally to each participant and, until everyone has expressed their opinion, not move on to the next question.
7. Encourage conversation club participants to begin their judgments with introductory expressions like "I think", "In my opinion", "From my point of view", as is customary in the English-speaking world.
8. It is not at all necessary, by all means, to go through all 18 questions of the conversation topic you have chosen at one meeting of the English language club. The English speaking club topics we offer are in no way intended to be any kind of academic syllabus. Rather, they play the role of a kind of “pusher” from which a discussion in English starts. Moreover, if after the first few questions the debate goes in a different direction, then the meeting of the English speaking club was successful! Always remember that the most important criterion for a successful English speaking club meeting is that all its participants find it interesting. If they wanted to discuss some other topic in English than the one you suggested, that's just great!
9. Do not allow English speaking club participants to take any notes during the meeting. Firstly, we repeat that the atmosphere of a club meeting should imitate as much as possible the situation of a conversation with an English-speaking interlocutor. Secondly, taking notes greatly detracts from the discussion in English. Actually, this is how the conversation club differs from English language courses.
10. As for phonetic, grammatical and lexical errors made by participants in the English speaking club, they should not be corrected directly during the discussion. Only if the same error is encountered by the same participant more than 2 times, it is necessary to delicately point it out to him at the end of the English speaking club meeting. If necessary, you can advise him to listen to something, read something, or do exercises on this topic.
11. Also, at the end of each meeting of the speaking club, it is advisable to remind its participants that in the breaks between classes they read books and watch films in English, as well as perform various exercises. If necessary, we can recommend the most useful resources for learning English.
On this page we offer TOPICS IN ENGLISH language.
If you are learning English, then you cannot do without conversational topics like: “My family”, “Travel”, “Hobbies”, “Visiting a restaurant or cafe”, etc. The fact is that language is closely related to reality: nouns name the objects around us, verbs express any actions, etc.
Since our life consists of various conventional spheres (family, work, study, etc.), then language is sort of divided into these spheres. The linguistic means most often used in any area form themes. Thus, the words that we most often use in educational institutions relate to the topic “Study”; The vocabulary we use when talking with a doctor can be the topic “Health” or “Visiting a doctor.”
Since our life is a limitless container of everything in the world, then there is an infinite number of things. However, if we did make a certain rating of topics, then the top positions would be conversational and everyday topics, some of which we have already named: “My family”, “Hobby”, “Visiting the doctor”, etc. It is these everyday topics that are recommended to be mastered first.
