The NTT Institute of International Education English Club was established in 2019 with the purpose of creating an environment for NIIE students to practice English through fun and recreational activities. Up to now, NIIE English Club has become a familiar “destination” for students to exchange, learn and gradually improve their English proficiency in daily life as well as academic activities.
Building up confidence and communication reflexes is not easy when most students have their certain shyness and fear to speak English. Recognizing this issue, since its inception, NIIE English Club has pursued a mission that is to create a natural and exciting English exposure to enable all members, regardless of their proficiency, to participate in the activities. One of the club’s special features is that it has a team of lecturers who are always willing to provide guidance, “ignite” the passion and give advice to students confronting difficulties.
Minigames and weekly quizzes for members.
Every week, NIIE English Club organizes online quizzes for students to reinforce vocabulary and grammar. Students can participate in answering the questions, discussing together and sharing knowledge. The quizzes will help students recognize their knowledge gaps and overcome them.
Additionally, competitions such as Vlog Competition, Singing Competition, and Speaking Competition are termly organized, which creates an environment for students to improve their English skills and express their perspectives on life. Topics are discussed and selected by the lecturers to ensure they are practical, familiar and attractive enough for students to boldly participate and be ready to voice their opinions. The use of English in daily life is even more focused with termly held class exchange activities and field trips to places in the city such as museums, parks, supermarkets, or book streets, etc.
Extracurricular activities are organized regularly by NIIE English Club with diverse topics.
Participating in the club activities is always rewarding . Participants will have the chance to receive worthy and lovely gifts including conduct points, teddy bears, books, school supplies, souvenirs, cash, or certificates. It’s fun to play, practice, and have gifts, isn’t it?
