Teaching English through
School Clubs Normal classes
Teaching is widely Learner-centered
Teaching is slightly Learner-centered
STT is high= teachers become
silent
TTT is high= teachers talk too
much( reality)
Teaching-learning process is
timeless
Teaching-learning process is time
bound
Activate learner involvement Learners are partially involved:
Lower achievers v.s. Higher ones
Learners are vocal Learners are silent

7. OZT 15TH COLLOQUIUM,
Teaching English through
School Clubs Normal classes
Learners are initiators of the
learning process
Mostly onlookers (except high-achievers)
Learners as whole and integrated
human beings: real life
Learning more artificial focusing
on one specific skill
A casual setting: using English in a
relaxed friendly setting, a
welcoming respectful environment
Formal setting: using English to
attain the teacher’s lesson
objectives
Emotions associated with learning:
affective factors the keys to lge
learning success
No room for the emotional
intelligence
Enthusiastic, lively
Students-led activities
Dull, sometimes boring
Teacher-led activities

14. Creative writing
Poetry
I wrote your name in the sky,
but the wind took it away
I wrote your name in the sea,
but the waves dragged it away
I wrote your name in my heart
and forever it will stay
I love you so much I won’t tell a
lie
I promise I will marry you the
day I die
Baby, where are you? I can’t
find you
I want to be with you
You are the one who makes me smile
You are the one who makes me laugh
Hold me please
My life is just silence
My life is just darkness
When I saw you, I was afraid to meet you
When I met you, I was afraid to love you
But now that I love you
I’m afraid to lose you
