Fun and Exciting Student Clubs await GEO students

GEO 11 student clubs are better and more exciting than before. Clubs this spring semester cater to a variety of student’s interest. Aside from the TV Sitcom club, Pop Song Club, Art Club, Short story club, and Belly Dancing club (now Polly Belly Dancing club), we have two new exciting clubs that students can choose from – Public Speaking Club and Traveler’s club. These student clubs are facilitated by the Filipino Teaching assistants who are experts in these fields.

Student clubs are a fun way of using the English language. Students exercise their English speaking, listening, reading, writing skills in their GEO classes. In student clubs however, they get to practice using English more often. Moreover, they get to express themselves and be more confident in using the English language. It is an interesting and challenging experience to learn and immerse themselves in using English in a different setting.

GEO 11 Student Clubs:

TV Sit Com Club enhances the listening skills of students through exposure to English series. Open discussion and club exercises and activities will be done to ensure student’s comprehension of the series they watched. English series enthusiasts, Diana and Van, facilitates the TV Sitcom club.
