The ProgramsENGLISH CONVERSATION OUTREACH classes are held three evenings a week. Every semester, approximately 100 tutors serve as conversation partners for 50 to 60 adult learners of English. The lead teacher presents the lesson to tutors, who then work with their students in small groups or one-on-one tutoring. Since 2004, over 1,200 American citizens have devoted time to serve as English conversation partners to 900 immigrants.
CHILDREN'S LEARNING PROGRAM makes language learning a family affair for students’ and tutors’ children ages 4 to 12. Children participate in activities that strengthen reading and math skills while their parents participate in English classes. SPANISH FOR TUTORS uses the same approach and materials as English Conversation Outreach, reversing the roles. |
