Why By sharing details about club activities, personal growth changes, and key takeaways, the unit’s content is enriched. This not only helps explore the thematic significance of the unit and broaden students’ horizons but also enables them to understand the cultural background of foreign student clubs and practice cross-cultural comparisons. In turn, this cultivates their cross-cultural communication awareness, while also helping them recognise the positive impact of club activities on individuals and the role of clubs in enriching campus life. How The text for this lesson takes the form of a video blog (vlog). Following a “general-specific-general” structure, it covers the name of the drama club Alice joined, the club advisor, the support from her friends and parents, and her personal reflections. When describing activities, it uses phrases such as “have pizza together,” “record the shows,” “watch them on TV,” “memorise a lot of lines,” and “talk and even sing in front of large audiences.” When expressing her gains, she uses statements like “it has helped me so much,” “it helped me understand more about the plays,” “I no longer feel afraid,” and “I am brave enough to speak up.” For language learning purposes, it includes specific expressions such as “He always has great ideas,” and “That’s me with the blonde hair!” These phrases are designed for students to learn and accumulate, helping them expand their vocabulary and enhance their language proficiency.
