EXTRA CURRICULA ACTIVITIES IN TFL
Many English Clubs are moderated by English teachers, but this doesn’t necessarily always have to be the case. Student support workers or even students themselves can often make great moderators.
The principles of a successful English club:

• 
  A good English club should be participant-centred. Some strategies to achieve this are:
  

1. 
   Encourage participants to bring in their own content.
   
2. 
   Ask participants questions about their lives.
   
3. 
   Divide participants into small groups to discuss questions or to do activities.
   
4. 
   Give participants opportunities to express themselves creatively in English, for example, through drama, poetry or storytelling. Alternatively, give them opportunities to explore visual communication, for example art or dance, with a post-performance discussion in English.
   

• 
  A good English club plays and important social role.
  

An English club can be a chance to meet new people and make new friends (both for both moderators and participants). This can be incredibly important for students studying English abroad, for example. Try to arrange the schedule so that there is time for people to stay and talk afterwards.

• 
  A good English club gives people freedom.
  

Students often appreciate the freedom from syllabi, exams and learning objectives. Teachers usually appreciate this too!

• 
  A good English club is rooted in the community.
  

Organize visits to local places or interest, or invite people from the local community in to talk to your participants.

• 
  A good English club is fun
  

Fun and enjoyment are elusive qualities. They happen when people are not looking for them. With regard to English clubs, it is almost impossible to predict in advance whether the activities planned will ‘click’ or not. Like a good teacher, an English club moderator should be flexible and intuitive, abandoning activities that fall flat, and embracing the spontaneous and unplanned.
