Community-Based English Clubs: English Practice and Social Change outside the Classroom
Malu, Kathleen F.; Smedley, Bryce
English Teaching Forum, v54 n3 p10-23 2016
This article defines and provides a rationale for the creation of community-based English clubs. We offer strategies that individuals can use to create and sustain English clubs, and we suggest meeting activities that will engage members in conversations and potential community action on a range of topics such as democracy, gender equality, and environmental protection.
