Literacy Missions: English As A Second Language Classes
We have many dedicated volunteers at Dublin Baptist Church that help make our conversational English as a Second Language program a 15 year success!
Wednesday mornings from 9:30-11:00, we have 100 students and 40 preschool children attend our classes and childcare. We meet from September - May, breaking during summer and school holidays.
We interview each student to determine which of our four levels of class best meet their speaking ability. All of our students can speak some English with most having 6 years of English classes while in middle school and high school.
The majority of our students are Japanese or Korean. Most live in the US for five years or less before returning to their country.
Our volunteers:
Teach classes
Substitute teach
Assist the teacher during class
Coordinate fellowships
Prepare food for fellowships
Set-up and serve during fellowships
