Background
Through this program, students build up their confidence in both English speaking and writing while learning social-emotional skills to succeed in school and life.
What we have
1) A comprehensive and interactive curriculum2) A compact class structure
Why this is important
The most challenging part of working with youth, let alone English language learning, is getting a young person to engage in meaningful conversations. Instead of a place of authority and formality, we take the attitude of genuine care and interest in them in a way where the conversation would matter and appeal to them to converse in comfort.
