The English Language Learners Club is a place for language learners to use English in a casual setting. Practicing your skills in the classroom is important, but it is not like real life. In an English Club, you get a chance to practice many different skills in a setting that is more like real life.
Teammates working together can bring out the best in one another. Dancing together teaches us to push ourselves. If someone makes a mistake, our dance partners are there to help us. We motivate each other at every rehearsal so when it is time to perform we are at our absolute best.
Choir teaches teamwork. Choirs aren’t about one singer being the best. Students learn concentration, active listening and focus. Students learn a lot about every song in rehearsal. Students learn confidence and discipline. Many of us are afraid of being on a stage all alone but, fortunately, with a choir, we’re surrounded by supportive peers.
