1. Introduction

What is Chatterbox?

• Chatterbox is an English Speaking Club for students aged 11 and above. All students are Elementary level, or above, so everyone can communicate using only English.
• Our Chatterbox lessons aim to help students to speak fluently and confidently. Students use the grammar and vocabulary they know to communicate about high-interest topics. Students need to use the language they already know to communicate effectively. When students want to know something more to help them explain their ideas, the teacher will help.
• Students will practice giving their own opinions and hearing the opinions of others in discussions, debates, presentations, role-plays and more. Students will practice talking about many topics.
• All teachers have experience and knowledge in teaching speaking skills. Teachers help students speak more fluently and with more confidence. At the same time, teachers will help with accuracy in use of grammar and pronunciation.
