Learn about our English Club

An English Learning Club is a terrific way to improve spoken English skills.

English Learning Clubs have the added benefits of being a great way to make new friends, learn about topics you might not have been aware of, and even hone your debating skills.

It’s not necessary to devote the entirety of your club meetings to debate, but it can be a stimulating and though-provoking way to spend a half-hour or so each week.

Note that it doesn’t need to be a formal debate, with one person or team arguing in favor of the topic and the other against, although that can be fun to do. If you prefer a more casual setup, simply go around the circle and give each person two minutes to state their case for or against the topic.

Wondering what to debate about at your English Learning Club? Here are 50 topics to get you started:

The voting age should be lowered (to 18, or 16, or whatever is a few years lower than the current norm where you are)

Voting should be mandatory and penalties should be imposed on eligible voters who do not vote

Politicians should be required to disclose the names of all financial supporters and donors

School uniforms are a good idea and should be required

Young people should begin working at a part-time job as early as possible in life

University tuition should be funded entirely by the government with no cost to students

The drinking age should be raised/lowered (pick one and argue for and against)

Homework should be banned for all students in elementary and high school
