Hi all,
We're planning to open an English Club at our school and because this is our first experience, I was hoping that I could benefit from your great ideas. Our students are girls aged 15-18.
If you have a club at your school or could lead me to sites with useful information, I would be grateful if you would share them with me.
Thank you

It sounds like an interesting opportunity. If I was able to do this at my school, I would put the students to come up with school wide projects as part of the function of the club.

I am the only ESL teacher at a public school in North Carolina, and one of my goals for next year is to start an "International Club" at the school, to involve ESL students and also American kids who are interested in language, travel, different cultures, etc. I would also greatly appreciate ideas, though I have a few...one thing is that 22 of our 25 ESL students are from Mexico, and I don't want the club to be a "Hispanic" club--I actually speak Spanish, but I'd like to create a social club that is inclusive and will allow all the ESL students to have positive interactions with non-Spanish speaking students and teachers. I'd like to have an "international food tasting", maybe get the club to do a presentation about the immigration experience for the social studies dept, do an excursion (ropes course, beach outing, or something fun) organize a fund-raiser...but I'd like to come up with other ideas for activities that they could do.
