PART I. THE INTRODUCTION
I. THE REASONS FOR CHOOSING THE THEME.
English play an important role in life nowadays. If we can speak English
well, we will have an opportunity to get a great deal of benefit, a good job with
high salary, a chance to go abroad and access new civilization. Correspondently
with the development of science and technology, the demand of learning English
is dramatically increasing. As a result, English centers are mushrooming
everywhere in our country especially in big cities. So, everyone at any age has
chance to learn foreign languages. For students in high school, they have a
professional learning environment, and they are taught carefully by well-trained
teachers. However, due to exam pressure, students usually focus on tests and
grammatical points rather than speaking skill. Having thought of this problems a
lot, I decide to find out some ways to create an English environment where
students can practise speaking English besides main lessons in the class. And the

solution I found out is setting up an English club in each school. Starting an
English Club is a great way to make new lasting friendships. It is important to
have good ESL friends because your confidence will increase if you do. You will
feel more comfortable using English around people you trust and have fun with.
Don't limit your friends to the people in your class. Because of above reasons I
make a decision of choosing the initiative named “Guiding students in Quan Son
high school to improve their communicating skill through the activities of
school English speaking club”.
II. THE PURPOSE OF THE INITIATIVE.
The purpose of this theme is to find out a suitable place so that students
can practise speaking English, share learning experience and exchange the
difficulties they have met during learning process. Furthermore, each school
needs to have an English Club which enables students to show their abilities and
use English in a real environment. When student coming the English club, they
have chances to learn English in different ways, not with a book and a pen. They
can sing English songs, role-play some short stories, play games etc… And
students will also experience new learning style, not only in a class but it may be
also in a restaurant, a café or even in the playground. Everywhere they can talk
naturally.
III. THE REEARCHED SUBJECTS.
When researching this theme, I want to work with all the people
regardless of age or career, who likes English especially students in high school.
The youth generation who are interested in English and enjoy using English. So
as to find out the main members for the club I invite anyone to join your English
Club, including friends, family members, fellow students, co-workers, and
people from other schools. English Clubs tend to be more fun when they are
multigenerational and multicultural. If your best friend is joining, why not ask
her grandmother to join too? English Club members also work well when
2

members have varying English language abilities. One member may be able to
teach you something new, and another may benefit from a skill that you can
share. Teaching someone else a grammar point or explaining how to use a new
word is one of the best ways to review your skills.
PART II. THE CONTENT
I.THE THEORICAL FOUNDATION OF THIS THEME.
Anyone can speak English well whether you are intelligent or stupid, rich
or poor, a child or an adult. The most important is that we have a suitable
environment to speak naturally. It will be convenient for someone living in
native speaking English countries. Besides that, people can also attend English
centres with full facilities. What about people who live in our country and desire
communicating well. They may attend English centres or English speaking club.
An English Club is a place for language learners to use English in a casual
setting. Practising your skills in the classroom is important, but it is not like real
life. In the classroom, you often focus on one skill and one item (for example:
grammar - future tense). After learning the rules your teacher gives you time to
practise using the item. You have your papers in front of you and the rules are
fresh in your mind. Will you remember how to use your skills next week, or next
year? In an English Club, you get a chance to practise many different skills in a
setting that is more like real life. Though your English teacher understands your
English, your English Club friends will require you to speak more clearly and
listen more carefully.
II. THE CURRENT SITUATION OF THE THEME
It is the fact that if we want to communicate well in English, we have to
practise day by day. It is no use learning English without using it in daily life. A
lot of students and even teachers complain that they have no English
environment to show their idea, and they lack of real situations to react naturally
in communication. It is undeniable that the more you practise, the more fluently
you speak English. And it is true that learners need a good environment to

practise English
III. THE METHODS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
When researching this theme, I have studied and found out the best way to
set up an English club and how to organize and maintain its activities.
Furthermore, I also make a specific plan for the whole year activities of the club.
In this initiative I will share the steps I did and some games or activities applied
when we hold an English club. And the most important thing is how to maintain
the club during the school year as well as organizing the club effectively.
1. How can I start an English Club?
To set up the club you need a permision from your school and some money
to buy necessary documents and decorations. So ask for your leaders for an
allowance and others for money such as the Society of students’ parents. You
may need some help from people who are good at English from outside your
school like teachers of English, or students of foreign language…About the
3


members of the club, an English club does not require a lot about its members as
well as the number of members, as long as they are keen on learning English.
You can invite anyone to join your English Club, including friends, family
members, fellow students, co-workers, and people from other schools. English
Clubs tend to be more fun when they are multigenerational and multicultural. If
your best friend is joining, why not ask her grandmother to join too? English
Club members also work well when members have varying English language
abilities. One member may be able to teach you something new, and another
may benefit from a skill that you can share. Teaching someone else a grammar
point or explaining how to use a new word is one of the best ways to review
your skills.
a. Post a sign-up form
After finding the way to starting an English club, send some sign-up forms

and deliver them to all the classes in your school or sticking the form on a local
library bulletin board of your school so that everybody knows about your plan.
Don’t forget to write your email address and telephone number at the top so that
people can email me with any ideas they might have. Make sure they write
down their phone numbers or email addresses so that you can contact them
about the time and place of the club meetings.
b. Seek help
To activate the club, you can’t do it on your own so don't try to do everything
yourself but exchange with your friends or colleagues. Each member should
contribute to the club. You may even want to find a fluent English speaker who
will volunteer to come to your meetings. New teachers or a high school student
may be willing to help you for free because the experience will help them find a
job.
c. Hold an introductory meeting
After you have enough people sign up (6-10 people is a good number) you
will need to hold an introductory meeting. At the first meeting, members can
learn each other's names and you can talk about what kind of club people are
interested in. One way to organize the club is by putting one member in charge
of being the leader each week. You can organize the weeks in terms of themes
(music/food/travel...), or skills (reading/writing/listening...).
d. Create rules and routines
At your meeting you can discuss what types of rules and routines the club
should have. For example, English Clubs usually have an "English only" rule.
Will people be allowed to drink and eat during the meeting? What about
bringing a friend? It is a good idea to conduct each club meeting in a similar
way. When people know what to expect, they are more likely to attend.
2.Choose where to hold the meeting
Different from the class, an English club doesn’t require a certain place to
have a meeting. It may happen everywhere as long as its members have a natural
environment, a large enough space to sit around and talk to each other.

4


a. At an English School
The easiest place to hold an English Club is in a spare classroom at an
English school. After classroom hours, most schools remain open for an hour or
two so that teachers can prepare for their classes. This is also a convenient
location because some or all of the members will already be in the school and
will have no excuses for missing a club meeting. You will also have access to
materials and television equipment.
b. In members' homes
You may want to take your club out of the classroom in order to make it feel
less academic and more social. If you decide to operate your club from a
personal home, try to find more than one person who is willing to host the
meetings. You will need to choose homes that are in a central location. Within
the home, choose a room with a lot of space and few distractions. Don't forget to
turn off the telephone. You may want to serve coffee or tea.
c. At a cafe or restaurant
This type of setting will likely involve a fee. The manager may allow you to
reserve a small room in the back if you choose a time of day when there are few
customers. You will likely be expected to purchase beverages and tip a server
(depending on what country you are in). Operating your club out of a cafe may
make it difficult to incorporate movies, music, and other listening practice. A
cafe is a good option for a small conversation club (less than 6 people).
d. Outdoors
One of the best places to hold an English Club is outside. This may only be
possible during certain warm months depending on what country you are in.
Choose a location where shelter can be found in case of rain. Though the beach
might sound like a great place to practise your English, remember that you will
probably be using papers and books which will be difficult in the breeze. A park

with picnic tables and shady trees might be better.
e. Consider atmosphere
Wherever you hold your club, remember that it is a club, not a class. To
change the atmosphere in a classroom you might want to open windows or have
background music or candles (if the school permits). A pot of coffee or a bowl of
popcorn can also make the meeting feel more like a club than a class. Why not
encourage members to take off their shoes when they walk in the door, or sit on
the floor instead of chairs. Remember, the purpose of the club is to use English
in a life-like situation. Do what feels natural and comfortable.
3.When and how often should we meet for our English Club?
a. About once a week
Some clubs fail because they expect too much of the members. It is hard to
find time to commit to something outside of school, work, and family. Meeting
once a week for about two hours is a good start. Some English Clubs also meet
for an additional excursion once a month. As you make friends you will

5


probably begin to get together in pairs or smaller groups outside of the club
meetings.
b. The best time of day
Choose a meeting time that is convenient for the group. Usually late afternoons,
evenings, or weekend days are chosen so that the meetings don't conflict with
work or school. The time that you choose will also depend on when the
room/space is available. During your introductory meeting, find out when the
most convenient time is for the majority of the members. If you make your
meetings too early or too late you may find that people come to the first few
meetings and then drop out.
c. Stop and begin again

Start a new club session approximately every three months. This will keep
the club alive! Another good time to take a break is during holiday times, such
as New Year's or Summer holiday. Some members will return and others will
move on to other things. Invite new people to join to fill the empty spots.
Change activities/themes that didn't work the first time. Keep adding new ideas,
but try to maintain a club identity.
4.What can we do in our English Club?
a. Establish a warm-up routine
You will notice that teachers often start class with a game or conversation
exercise. They do this to wake you up! They also want to help you focus on a
classroom activity that will follow. In a club that tends to have more of an
academic focus the warm up could be three new vocabulary words. The leader
could teach a noun, a verb, and an adjective each session. The group practises
making sentences with the new words. In a club that is more social in nature,
find an activity that makes people laugh. This will bring positive energy into the
room. I will provide some useful games that are guaranteed to turn your brains
to English quickly!
b. Choose themes or skills
You can organize your club in many ways. Some clubs will be full of
members that only want to practise one skill, such as conversation. Conversation
club meetings are often very casual and require little planning. Everyone can
write down a topic that they want to debate, or you can talk about popular
culture and current events. Someone can bring in a newspaper article and
everyone can read it together and discuss it. Reading clubs are another type of
English Club. Each person reads the same book (outside of group time) and the
club discusses aspects such as what they liked about it, who their favourite
characters were, etc.
The majority of English Clubs, however, are designed for people who want
to improve their English in all skill areas. If this is the type of club you want to
create it is useful to divide the meetings in terms of themes or skills. Each

member of the club can choose from a list of dates. You can suggest topic ideas,
or ask members to come up with their own. Always give members the option of
6


bringing in their own idea (leave a blank space for OTHER on the theme/skill
schedule). The leader for each meeting is in charge of everything including the
warm-up, the focus, and the dividing of members into groups or pairs. This
gives everyone in the group an opportunity to show their leadership and creative
skills. If someone is extremely shy and unwilling to be a leader, you can still
allow them to join the club. Perhaps they will agree to be a leader a few months
later in the next session when they have more confidence in English.
c. Have backup ideas on hand
What if your leader for the day doesn't show up? In a classroom, you usually
get a substitute teacher when your instructor is sick or unavailable. This should
be the same in a club. If members know they are going to miss a meeting that
they are supposed to lead, they should call another member and give them
instructions about what was planned. However, it is likely that a day will come
when no leader shows up at all. It is a good idea to have a back up plan in case
of this problem.
The easiest thing to do is keep a list of discussion questions in the location of the
meetings. Put them in an envelope or in the classroom, or give one to each
member to keep in their notebook. You can cut them up and put them in a hat
and take turns picking questions. Another idea is to get out a dictionary
and learn ten new words. The group can practise using them and then write a
group play that involves all ten words. A deck of playing cards is also a good
thing to keep in case of extra time. You can play a game of cards in English.
Teaching each other rules in English is a great way to practise speaking and
listening. You will also have to ask lots of questions when you learn a new
game.

d. Use a suggestion box
If it's possible, keep a suggestion box in the room where you hold your club
meetings. At the end of each meeting the leader should encourage members to
write a comment or suggestion for the group.
Examples: I want to practice pronunciation more. Let's keep track of our new
vocabulary. Does anyone want to practice idioms with me? It's too cold in this
room! Why don't we all bring a snack to share next week?
Go on excursions as a group
Outside of your weekly meetings, it is a good idea to have one excursion a
month. This helps create stronger bonds within the group. It is always fun to
have something to look forward to as well. Go out to a movie. Play a sport. Do
community service together. Give blood. Go sightseeing. Have a picnic. Go
dancing. Have a potluck dinner. Whatever you decide to do, everyone should
speak English at all times.
5.Some warm-up Activities for an English Club
(reference books: games for teaching Vocabulary)
a. 20 Questions

7


One person thinks of an object (person, place, or thing). Everyone takes turns
asking yes/no questions until someone can guess correctly (or until 20 questions
are asked). The difficult part is that you cannot ask "wh" questions!
Example: PINEAPPLE.
1. Does it talk?
-> No.
2. Does it make life easier?
->No.
3. Do you eat it?

-> Yes.
4. Is it something you would eat for dinner?
-> No.
Etc...
If someone makes a mistake in forming the question, other club members can
help turn it into a proper question.
b. Can't Say Yes or No
In this game everyone is given a certain number of coins or squares of paper
(about 10). Everyone moves around the room starting conversations and asking
each other questions. The only rule is that you cannot say the words YES or NO.
If you accidentally say one of these words, you have to give a coin or square to
the person who you said it to. Try to trick each other by asking questions that
you would almost always answer with a yes or no. Think of other ways to trick
your friends. Sometimes asking two quick questions in a row works well.
(Especially tag questions: Are you new here? This is your first time in America,
isn't it?). This game is a great way to practise using small talk and to add variety
to your vocabulary. It also makes everyone laugh.
Example.
1. Do you go to the market today?
-> Yeah, I went to buy some food
2. Did you buy some fish?
-> Of course, I like eating fish
3. You went with Mai, didn’t you?
-> Oh, never. I went alone
Etc…
c. Fact or Fiction
In this game, one person tells a short story about themselves or someone they
know or heard about. Usually it is something funny or crazy. It can be a true
story, or something made up.
Example: Josh tells a story about his Uncle Leo who sleeps in the nude. One day

Uncle Leo was sleepwalking and he went outside and took his dog for a walk.
The next door neighbor was coming home late from work and saw him! She
called the police and he got arrested for being naked in public.
Everyone around the room has to say whether they think Josh's story is fact
(true) or fiction (made up). Josh reveals the truth when everyone has guessed.
Members can take turns telling a story.
d. Chain Fairytale
This is a fun writing warm-up. Everyone has a piece of paper and writes the
first sentence or two to start a fairytale (not one that already exists).
Example: Once upon a time there was a frog that had no legs. He wanted to get
married, but there were no female legless frogs in the land.
8


After one minute the leader will say "SWITCH". At this time the writers have
to put down their pens and pass the papers. They cannot finish their sentences.
Then, the next writers will continue the story. After about ten minutes you will
have as many silly stories to read as you have club members. The leader should
warn the writers that they will soon have to wrap-up the story during the last two
minutes so that each story has a conclusion. Read all of the stories out loud for a
good laugh. You can extend this activity by trying to edit each other's writing
and spelling errors.
e. Draw the Picture
In this activity members split up into pairs or small groups. One person looks
at a scene from a magazine or book (the leader should cut out enough pictures,
or bring in enough magazines for the club). The other person has a pencil and a
blank piece of paper. The person with the picture will try to describe everything
he sees to the drawer. This is good practice for using prepositions of place.
When the describer is finished, compare the drawings to the real thing! Whose is
the closest to the original?

f. Categories
For this game, one person thinks of a category, such as MOVIES. In a circle,
everyone must take a turn thinking of a Movie title (in English of course). If
someone takes too long to give an answer (the leader should count to five) then
that person is out and a new category begins. If someone gives an answer that
doesn't make sense or is incorrect, he is also out of the game. For example, if the
category is VEGETABLES and someone says "banana" that person is out. The
game continues until only one person is left!
g. Who am I?
In this game, the leader prepares cards with famous people's names on them.
The leader tapes one card on the back of each member. Then everyone pretends
they are at a party and asks each other questions to find out their own identities.
When someone guesses their own name correctly, the name-tag gets taped to
their front and they continue to chat with the party guests until everyone is
wearing the nametag on the front.
h.Jeopardy
In this game, which is based on the famous gameshow Jeopardy, everyone
writes down ten answers to questions about themselves. After writing down the
answers, people have to form pairs or small groups and try to find out what the
questions are.
Example: (answer = purple) "What is your favorite colour?" "Blue." "What
colour do you hate?" "Green." "What colour is your underwear?" "Purple!" You
can stop at three guesses if you want, or keep going until someone in the club
can guess the question.
i.
Hot Seat
In this game, the club is split up into two teams. One member from each team
sits facing the group. The leader holds up a word (or writes it on the board if you
9

are in a classroom) for all of the team members to see except for the two players
in the hot seats. The teams must try to get the person in the hot seat to guess the
word or phrase. The first person to guess correctly gets to stand up and a new
member from their team takes the hot seat. The person on the other team has to
remain in the hot seat until she gets an answer first. You can keep score or just
play for fun. This game can also be played in pairs. One pair member closes
their eyes while the leader shows the word to the other pair members. The first
pair to get the word right gets a point. Warning! This is a loud game because
people tend to get excited and yell!
k. Broken Telephone
This is a listening and pronunciation activity that always gets people
laughing. The leader first must think of a sentence or phrase and whisper it to
the person beside her. That person will then whisper what she heard to the next
person. Each person can only say, "Can you please repeat that?" one time. When
the message reaches the end of the chain that person must speak out loud.
Oftentimes the message will be completely different when it reaches the end.
Try to find out where the chain broke! In a big group you can send the message
two ways and find out which team comes closest to the real message. (A famous
example is the army message that started as "Send reinforcements, we're going
to advance" and ended as "Send three and four pence, we're going to a dance.")

Be based on what we have done in our school, I have to admit that the
interest of students in English increases clearly. The asmostphere of each
meeting makes students comfortable and relax. They have chance to learn and
play. They are not limited in class scale but free to speak, show their ideas and
abilities. Through activities of the club, students are more confident when they
stand in front of the whole class, they also react more naturally when
communicating in real situations. Altegether with attending English club,
students practise speaking in speaking lessons in the class. They really improve
their speaking skill and their English become better and better. The result is
shown this estimate table

Although the improvement is not very outstanding, it is a positive evidence for
teaching and studying foreign language in a mountainous school like Quan Son.
I hope that this model will be applied in all the schools in our province to create
a good setting for students to study and practice English. If it is done from
Primary shool, I do believe that the result will be empressive!
PART III. THE CONCLUSION
When studying this theme I have met a lot of both advantages and
disadvantages.
1. The advantages
- English club is something new in our school so most of the students are eager
to attend and give us help with preparation. Their preparation and attendance
give them sense of accomplishment. . On the other hand, I also can rate the real
standard of my students and find suitable solutions to improve the situation.
- I have received the permit of the management of the school, the supportion of

the society of student’s parentsa great deal of my colleagues’ help and useful
advice from other friends which assists me to finish the initiate before the
deadline.
2. The disadvantages
- The ability of the students in Quan Son high school is unbalance, only a few
students have interests in English. So it’s very difficult to attract students’
attention. Because of busy work and study, the number of meeting is limited. So
students don’t have a lot of chances to prepare for complicated topic. The topics
used are simple and popular. So it is a pity for gifted students who want to
develop writing and presenting skill. This also affect to the effect of the theme.
- Besides that , some the students’s parents rarely pay attention to learning
English both at home and at school. Therefore, the quality of learning English is
limited. Students are lack of reference books as well as high – tech facilities
18


which are needed for their learning.
3. Some suggestions
- In order to enable for students to learn English well, the management of
schools need to pay much attention to learning foreign language by adding
necessary equipments for learning English; building professional room, lab,
- Schools also have to create a good opportunity for the teachers of English meet
each other and exchange experience, and teaching method.
Mastering English grammar is an essential requirement of English learners. And
it is better for the teacher to divide in to small topic. So that students can focus
and distinguish the usage obviously. With perfect gerund and infinitive form of
verbs is the same. Students certainly have difficulty if we only base on the
designed exercise in the textbook without widening with specific explanation
and practice test. Our long – term purpose of learning English is communicating
with the others. But the short-term one is rather crucial. In each test or

examination, students can meet hundreds of English patterns, It’s better for them
to answer precisely what they have already known. Therefore, giving students
careful preparation is really important. This contributes to increasing the effect
of learning as well as the result of the test and exam.
With limited experience, I hope to help friends and colleagues teach
English with high effect, especially when preparing for students before
examinations. Surely my analization of theme remains certain mistake, I hope to
be shared and remarked by all readers.
Thank you very much!
