Introduction
The English Club is an association of secondary school
students aiming at facilitating the English language learning process.
Since Burkina Faso is a French-speaking country, we have to find any strategy that can
help us acquire the four skills, i.e., speaking, writing, reading, listening.
Two public schools are involved in this project: Lycée YAMWAYA and Lycée YADEGA. Both
offer literary (A) and scientific series (C,D) and have two cycles:
-
First cycle:
Forms: 1 (Sixième), 2 (Cinquième), 3 (Quatrième), 4 (Troisième
where students sit for an exam, BEPC).
-
Second cycle:
Forms: 5 (Secondes A & C), 6 (Premières A & D), 7 (Terminales
A & D where students sit for the Baccalaureat exam).
