English Club Skoura, News In brief


Ezzaitoune English Club organises meetings occasionally on Saturdays, afternoon. Each meeting, I invite other teachers or people who are interested in the field to help. Mss. Hillary Lynn,the Peace Corps volunteer, Pr. Houssam Zrirak and Pr. Abdelkader Ghazali the main parteners.

The club aims to give a variety of activities in which students can express themselves and use what they have learnt in class.

These are not extra activities as some students call it. It is rather important, exactly as the grammar lessons they take in class. The necessity of these activities is due to the fact that the number of classes the students take per a week is not enough. Moreover, the number of students is large 45 in a class, which means that if we divide the 3 hours they study on the number of students, we will find that each student has 2 minute to talk in class regarding the Teacher Talking Time.

In the club we mainly focus to skills work like reading, listening, speaking. For this reason, we provide students with activities that can enrich and improve these skills.
For reading, I provide students with simplified short stories. They read them in groups and answer some comprehension questions then discuss the meanings with the teacher. After that, Students rehears their short stories in front of teachers.
