    Group Conversation Practice Program

    This group program is an intimately-sized class focusing on the technical aspects of language and communication skills based around a topic of the clientsf choice. Additionally, the session offers clients learning opportunities (and often times coping mechanisms) to develop their skills for adjusting to American culture and their new surroundings. Through conversation practice, our instructors work with students in speaking and listening and learning correct sentence structures, methods of communication and interaction in a group conversation, American culture and more. Class size is limited to six students.

    Many ESL students or non-native English speakers complain that they understand English (grammar), but are not confident enough to jump in a conversation. These are reasons for this including:

  • ESL students or non-native English speakers are trying to translate from their native language into English.

  • ESL students or non-native English speakers are looking for a big and specific word, rather than using simple language to describe what they like to describe.

  • There are not enough conversation opportunities in or outside of the class at their ESL school.
  • The strategy of improving speaking skills is to speak, converse, and talk as much as you can! Our professional instructors provide you a program with the most effective curriculum for your level.

    English as a Daily Language (EDL) Program

    This group program is an out-of-classroom session with our experienced, bilingual, or bi cultural instructors who are proficient in teaching conversational English, US culture, and methods of communication.

    Our instructors participate with students in various activities, helping them improve their English and teaching them skills necessary for successful communication with English speakers. Our clientsf English skills improve as well as their understanding of American culture, which our students have told us has led to them feeling more confident and better adjusted to life in the Unites States. Most of our instructors have experience in teaching English as a Second Language and they all have an understanding of cultural differences and are sensitive to clientsf needs.
