Description: **Student Evaluation will be on Tue August 15 7-9 pm. Class begins Tue August 22 at 7pm.** The Lord has brought many people to Central Ohio who do not have English as their primary language. Because they are not familiar with English and the customs of this country, they often struggle to adapt. The ESL program consists of structured classroom teaching and smaller conversation groups. In addition to language acquisition, ESL offers friendship and practical help to navigate daily challenges.
If you speak English, you qualify to join the ESL team!
“Pray that our students may feel comfortable in our nation and see the love of Christ demonstrated in our teaching and friendship.” For more details, click on the link to email the team organizer.
