BUEC is the Barikadimy’s United English Club, an English Club at University of Tamatave,MADAGASCAR. It was created by group of students included Rolland, Gildas, Paul, Vohary, Jacquinot, Jean D’Arc, Fredel, Lydovick, Urbain and Patrick in 2003. Every year the member is increasing. In this club, we are all equals, everyone is a teacher and student as well, we help one another. All of us can share their skill and knowledge about English. It is a very big opportunity for the people especially the students at University of Tamatave to increase their levelin term of English Language..

WHY ENGLISH? The creators recognized that there are a lot of students after they got their BACC degree and they have to go at University, there they don’t have any occasion to increase their English knowledge. And as we know that there is no way to follow English subject here at the University of Tamatave because it’s doesn’t exist yet. Nowadays, English takes great place in the World Communications .Therefore, we decided to create one club, is the place where the students can talk and exchange everything in English.

We always got problems about the room where we can have our meeting. Normally we need to have one teacher at least but because we are all students in and we’re all bit busy of our studies no one of us could be a teacher. Also as a club we have not enough materials like computer, TV. We only have one tape for listening but sometimes we want to watch a film.

The club participates on the social development, like for example during the world journey of smile here in Tamatave; we did a translation between patients and doctors with Operation Smile, the “World Journey of Smile”.

This is Mr Lydovock speech, as one of the creators: Hi I’m Clearstone Lydovick. As a philologist, got into a club to bring my knowledge higher. I got interested into BUEC because: Firstly, in BUEC we share knowledge to one another. It’s a way of “Share and Share lake”. Secondly, as a learner too, we get to make ourselves be broad-minded. Because getting onto any particular group brings you getting out of your shell, Mean you’re shy no more. Because you get used to talking with different friends. Now I’d like to invite all friends to get into any club for instance BUEC. “Never miss the boat buddy!”

Sunday April 19 2009, we reopened the English Club meeting at the Toamasina University. We started to introduce ourselves and share some news during the long break times holidays. We met lot of new members. We say them welcome to the Place where everyone can practice English.

The most important thing for us is everyone will take part and English remains our main language during our meeting and everywhere we meet each other. We invite also all the people all over the world to appreciate English to share it with us.
