英语角总结
英语角活动总结 活动的意义： 英语角作为北京师范大学英语俱乐部中的核心常设部门，旨在营造一个宽松，自由，互动的环境，通过有效交流，全方位提高同学们的英语听说能力，思维能力，交流能力，英美文化知识修养。从而在知识方面和能力方面得到循序渐进的受益。 活动效果： 通过英语角组织者和参与者的配合，活动达到了比较好的效果。在组织者方面，首先做到了有序性，固定性。英语角在每周六晚举办，并且有固定的教室。这样在组织英语学习的方面就有了物质的保证和连贯性的保障。其次，组织者充分尊重参与者的自由，畅所欲言，在有组织性的常规活动之中也保证了参与者的自主积极性。再次，组织者有能动的积极性。每次的话题，主题，活动内容，海报都是在稳定下不断创新的。这一点得到了广大参与者的好评。有英语角的常客，也有新来的同学，无论在英语水平在哪一个层次上，都能从此活动中获得受益。在参与者方面，参与者能积极配合活动，获得了良好的效果，尤其是在英语口语和听力方面得到了提高。据反映，尤其是英语角温暖和谐的气氛，更让他们感受到了作为一个特殊社团中一员的归属感。 活动中出现的问题以及解决方式： 1，活动之中有时会出现题材陈旧。套路陈陈相因的问题。这个问题是组织者感觉到的，同时也是参与者提出来的。响应的解决方案就是“求变”，在不断更新创新之中寻求出路。 比如说不断更新主体话题，跟随时代脚步和同学心声。在常规活动之外，增添一些额外的环节，例如辩论，相关才艺表演，口语比赛等等。新意带来了良好的效果。 2，活动中，有的同学会因为自己的口语能力不佳而不好意思开口，这样子英语角就对有的同学的英语提高起不到实质性的作用。根据这个情况，英语角的组织者进行了分组讨论环节，这样子英语水平不理想的同学就可以通过小组的讨论得到潜移默化的影响，可能从只是开始的出谋划策到最后的大胆上台演讲。在帮助提高的同时，充分尊重了个人，考虑到了个人的具体情况。 活动的总体评价： 活动在组织者和参与者的配合之下取得了良好的效果。参与者的英语能力，文化积累，人际能力在一种合适的环境下得到了较大幅度的提升。组织者的英语能力，组织能力，常新能力也得到了相应的增长。作为英语俱乐部的重点部门，英语角的活动具有重要而又有实质性的意义和价值。今后要扬长避短，在新的一年把英语角的优势推向一个新的层次。指的一提的是，英语角近期也出现了一些可喜的改观。自由讨论环节中的主题由原来单一的已经顺利过渡到多个（一般是5个）话题，为更多人更自由的参与，提供了更多的可能。英语角一直在进步之中。

英语角总结
2010年下期英语角总结 为了给广大的同学们构建一个英语学习和交流的平台，创建一个良好的英语学习氛围，我系英语协会经研究决定成立英语角。通过开展形式多样，内容丰富的活动，提高同学们对英语学习的热情与自信。培养大家的交际能力与英语实际应用能力，提高英语水平。为不敢开口说英语而感到苦恼的同学提供一个自由交流英语的平台。 本期的英语角一共举行了四次，分别为：english speech、english song、english movie、english drama。 1、English Speech：（12月5日晚自习后） 学习部在C区草坪上开展了第一次英语角活动，活动开展比较成功。这次活动人员来的很齐，理事通知到位。在个人介绍环节，会员轮流着大胆的发言，讲述自己的亲身经历和对事务的看法。大家交流的很融洽，尤其是讲述自己的爱好，特长，对明星及诗人的看法方面。 组织部与办公室4501教室共同开展（到场会员不是很多）。来参加英语角的会员都上去发言了，有些会员尽管英语水平不是很好，但他们还是努力地表达了他们想表达。不过参加的会员只有一部份人，还有一部份人不愿意参加我们英语角，不相信自己的英语水平。会员积极性不高自信心不够。 宣传部由于临时有事，而没有举行。 在这次的活动中发现了很多问题：组织力度及各部门的协调能力都不够，在下次一定要解决问题，如果一个部门有事就找其他部门帮忙，若是会员有事也一定要问清是什么原因要提前确定会到的会员的人数，并不断的完善每次英语角的各种潜在问题，并不断的提高。通过这次活动基本了解了会员的英语口语情况。让我们调整了英语角的方针，进行有针对性的进行突破。这是我协会第一次的尝试，通过不断地摸索，不断地完善对会员的管理与有针对性的提高方针，我们相信通过这个英语角活动，能很大的提高他们的口语能力。
