Welcome to our English Debate Club

Our English Debate Club is a one-hour session that is led by one of ours facilitatos. We meet a few times a week at different hours.

The idea

We know that for some of you sharing opinions may be difficult in a foreign language. You may know what you to say in your native tongue but expressing your views in English is another kettle of fish. Your worries about words to use and how to use them not to hurt others as well as make your point clear to them, are main inhibitors of your social interactions. Sometimes it is easier to sit back and keep quiet but the main reason we want to communicate is that we want others to like us. Nodding your head yes or shaking your head is not enough to make you a likeable person. If you want to improve your English communication skills, the best thing to do is to learn and practice some common expressions, discourse techniques, body language gestures that are used in discussions and debates.

Objectives

In general, the Debate Club aims to:

  • improve your spoken skills in English
  • develop your confidence, self awareness, empathy, self regulation and social skills
  • expand vocabulary – both range and use

Calendar

English Debate Club is delivered in English and only to registered users. The timetable available for a registered user gives you a chance to attend as many sessions as you wish. The only limit is one per day. This means that as a registered user you can attend our meetings even every day in a given month. To become a register user you will be asked for a monthly fee depending on your time-scope preferences.

Booking

Each session has a maximum of 6 students. This means that you have to follow “the first the better” rule to book a meeting and the booking systems is available only for a current week. The calendar will be available for you to book a meeting.
