Benteng Panynyua English Club (BPEC) is one of the English Conversation Clubs in Makassar. It was established on April 7th, 1986. It is a social institution which always conducts its weekly meeting at Fort Rotterdam, one of Makassar’s most popular tourism objects. BPEC itself has been recorded in the Guidance Book of Tourists. They are famous with tourists. BPEC welcomes participants from all levels of society. They include students from elementary school, secondary school, senior high school, college, employees, etc. It has been eighteen years since BPEC first began and club activities really help the people, especially English learners, to build up their speaking ability. Many of them have successfully found good positions in many companies in South Sulawesi and outside South Sulawesi.
