Our English Class

We teach advanced English classes every Tuesday night at the church from 6:30 - 8:00 PM. There are many people who want to learn English to improve their job and schooling opportunities. In Thailand, students are taught English in school from the time they are four or five years old, so they normally, but not always (see the store advertisement below) know the grammar quite well and can read pretty well, but their pronunciation needs improvement. Our goal is to help them with their verbal skills. We have a lot of fun, but we try to challenge them. We have high school, college, and professional people like teachers and nurses in our class. We do lots of different activities from impromptu speaking, to pronouncing hard words--beginning with 'V' or ending with 'L', we play a Jeopardy game with English language categories, such as synonyms, past present and future tense, idioms (They hate this one because they can never figure them out), US geography, etc. We do listening activities to check for comprehension and lots more. It takes a lot of planning, but the class time is fun. We have anywhere from four to thirteen students a week.
