About English Literary Association
One of the oldest clubs in college, the English Literary Association more commonly known as “ELA” was established in 1896 as one of the first co-curricular activities in school. Since the club was formed, uplifting the English Literature standards among the young Royalists was one of the main strengths of the club. In the recent past, the English Literary Association has gone to revive projects such as RCMUN (Royal College Model United Nations) which is an important event in the year for the club & the annual English Day held in school.
The English Literary Association was initiated in hopes to engrave in the minds of young Royalists the values and strengths in learning to understand and appreciate literary texts. Through this one does not only learn how to understand the true depth and meaning of another’s creation but also to be creative, innovative and to spark a new flame in modern literacy and to convey their ideas with emotion and clarity. We give these opportunities through various projects to show case their abilities and to better improve their skills to show where they went wrong and applaud how far they’ve come. So, while they will be guided, they will also be gaining experience which is a better teacher than anything else.
There is a quote “you will enrich your life immeasurably if you approach it with a sense of wonder and discovery, and always challenge yourself to try new things.” Keeping this in mind there are lots of young students who are living in ignorance about the brilliance of literacy of how one could simply get lost in words and the world it creates so by trying will only one be able to taste the boundlessness of the word by trying the appreciation and creation will only one know whether they want to create or get immersed in literacy.
These goals of ours will help all Royalists to better their use of the English language of both the written word and the spoken language.
As they will be communicating with the use of English hence day by day the use will be more familiar and if there once was any fear of the language it will be gone before they even know it.
The skills picked up will be useful for studies because as we all know the English language is known as the universal language and one who is fluent with the English language can do in depth studies and go through literary work of old and new in any field.
Students who possess this skill will not only have an advantage in studies but also in day to day life. As they will be able to communicate their ideas and emotions clearly throughout the world.
This club brings about a change for the better by reaching to the hearts of Royalists and showing them the advantages of studying and appreciating literature.

As to participate in an MUN conference, one needs to be well versed in the day-to-day affairs taking place around the world which will result in bringing into the spotlight different aspects of the world often over looked raising awareness to problems and finding different perspectives on how to address these issues.
Encompassing simulations of the UN General Assembly and select UN specialized committees, MUN has been providing an unparalleled platform of debate, diplomacy and leadership for thousands of students from across Sri Lanka for nearly a quarter of a century. We provide a platform for youth to make their voices be heard on global issues, and to come together as one to fight back against the deadlock that has fraught much of the diplomatic realm. Through our committees, we provide students with a forum to hone skills in diplomacy, negotiation, critical thinking, compromise, public speaking, writing, and research.
