The Winner Takes It All



The majority of respondents (59%) chose Movie Club as the most preferable out-of class activity. Perhaps, they will be happy to know that namely this project will soon be implemented 

Movie club is predictably the most popular activity since it is always fun, authentic and doesn’t require a lot of effort to participate. Come, watch, enjoy! More or less the same thing can be sad about the option that proved to be second best – Speaking Club. Being graduates of post-Soviet schools, we all have language barriers that are often hard to overcome. The aim of any speaking club project is to make it possible.
And here comes my big WHY.
Why has the Grammar club occupied the third place??? What makes grammar so attractive for us, post-Soviet people?
The idea of a debate club is left behind, which might be explained by the necessity of following particular rules and not just talking in a relaxed way about popular topics (the latter is what a speaking club provides).
Book club is not at all popular. Well requires preparation (i.e. homework).
Drama club is lagging behind. Well, we are adults now and nobody dreams to be an actor anymore, I guess J
A few respondents would try all of the above and nobody would abstain from participation. Good! Other projects are coming up!
