Foreign language clubs added flair to
the traditional classroom education. They
were a chance for students to step outside
the normal language boundaries and put
their love of language to use. They had the
opportunity to learn about culture hands-on
and gained a greater appreciation for lan–
guage. Students had a chance to come to–
gether with people who shared a common
interest. Club rivalries formed; however, in
the spirit of fun, to express dominant feel–
ings of pride for one's language. Clubs some–
times came together on weekends to partici–
pate in activities like progressive dinners,
foreign film festivals, and visiting places of
cultural significance. All of these ventures
helped make the customs of a particular
culture more familiar to students.
