Helping Link/Một Dấu Nối sponsors a ten week conversational
English as a Second Language course that meets twice a week (Tuesday and Thursday)
for two hours each session.
The course matches volunteer tutors with limited-english speakers. The course
emphasizes conversational practice, familiarity with social interaction and
traditional classroom methods. Helping Link's conversational ESL provides
a special language learning activity not often practiced in the classroom
setting, volunteer tutors serve as "facilitators" rather than "instructors"
to initiate conversations. |
