ENGLISH SUMMER-PROGRAM
Every Tuesday in July - 6:00 to 8:00pm
Every Friday in July - 10:00 to 12:00pm
The objective of this program is to mainly keep in touch with our current students during the summer, by providing them an environment to practice their English. The English classes are mainly English conversations, so we encourage everyone to come to either one of the dates or several and just speak English. You won’t have to teach an English grammar class, just hold an English conversation. We believe this can help our students to practice what they have learned while developing and stronger friendship and relationship with Northbrook members. Contact Rodrigo Cruz at 770-998-2000 ext. 243, rcruz@northbrookumc.com if you are interested in helping, or just show up. |
