The English Club of Lycee Yamwaya had existed before I came in this school in academic year 1997-1998. That year, the club carried out activities. But the following years, nothing happened. We have to wait till 2001 to see the revival of the English Club. Students of Seconde A4 accepted to write articles for a newsletter intitled "Seconde A Newsletter". They worked in collaboration with another secondary school named Lycee Yadega. The following years the newsletter was renamed "The English Club Newsletter" and all the students in both schools interact. This year, 2003-2004, an English Club has also been created in Lycee Yadega. Both clubs meet on Tuesday afternoons and carry out their activities, with the help of English teachers.

The aim of English clubs is to offer students extra-curricular opportunities to practise the language outside the constraints of formal settings - classrooms -. Students   improve their four skills - writing, speaking, reading, listening .

This year, I have had the opportunity to connect my students and some members of the English Club of Yamwaya to keypals exchange projects in Japan, Korea, USA, Taiwan. The aim is to share cultural values, discover foreign civilisation and make friends.
