GRACE LOVES ESL
PROGRAM DETAILS
Grace Loves, the outreach arm of Grace Covenant Church, are offering English as a Second Language classes as a service to the community. It is our desire to use this opportunity to share the love of Jesus Christ with Internationals. All of our teachers are unpaid volunteers. Quality English instruction is available on 5 different class levels. The basic beginner class is appropriate for those who speak little or no English. A level slightly above this is categorized as Beginner 1, and a step higher is Beginner 2-3. Our Intermediate class teaches students who know enough to “get by” and require practice with sentence structure, speaking more fluently and writing. For those who are Advanced learners, improving their English to be successful in the job market or conversing are goal markers. ESL church based programs in the DC area collaborate and continuously discuss ways we can best meet the needs of those who walk through our church doors for not only English but in practical ways.
STUDENTS
It has not been uncommon for our program to register up to 145 students in one year, coming from 18 different countries.
