Free-topic discussion

Today’s English Speaking Club was planned as a free-topic discussion in order to involve all the present into conversation.

We started with the introduction of the new club members.

Two foreign students from the Chemical Technology University joined the Club today. They come from Central Asian countries that speak Persian language – Iran and Tajikistan. The freshmen were asked a lot of questions about their respective countries and their tourist attractions.

One Ukrainian club member, Pavel, who joined recently, was asked a lot of questions about his prospective trip to the UK and the exchange project between the Metallurgical Academy and Birmingham University.

The next topic was a report of the English Speaking Club Committee about the picnic the previous weekend and American traditions involved.

To provide each club member with the opportunity to talk we implemented the Critical Incident Technique – club members had to tell about an event of the last few weeks that impressed them most – both positively and negatively. The majority could not think about a negative event which showed what a happy bunch of people visits the Window on America.
