Communicative fluency The xy society

Procedure The activity follows the steps outlined in the diagram below. The first step involves agreeing on the aim of the society to be founded and naming it. The so­ciety can have a 'nonsense purpose' like making trousers the compulsory dress for everyone (Trouser Society) or a real one like founding a debating club at school (De­bating Society). It will largely depend on the students' and teacher's interests which type of society is chosen.

Variations Any of the steps from the table can be tackled on its own. The students are then given the information which is necessary, e.g. if the teacher wants them to practise writing skills Step D is appropriate. The students would then have to be told the name and purpose of the society.

“Education makes people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave.” “The roots of education are bitter, but the fruits are sweet.” “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink; you can send your son to college, but you can’t make him think.” ‘A university should be a place of light, of liberty and of learning’ 'Knowledge is a city, to the building of which every human be­ing brought a stone.' ‘Knowledge is power.' 'Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.'
