PURPOSE
The English House offers opportunities for people of all levels to learn English under the direction of native speakers. It is our goal to help guide our students on their English learning journeys in a way that builds both their knowledge of the language and also their confidence in their own abilities to make the most of the opportunities that are available to people with bilingual skills. By emphasizing our use of native speakers as teachers we are able to go beyond the technicalities and also focus on the flow and feel of the language that can be so elusive.
It is our goal to provide a full spectrum of courses covering all levels of previous experience. We believe that this will be a valuable tool to connect the people of our city with our ministry, and we hope to equip locals to be able to help us better connect our groups with the city by serving as translators.
How do we use the English House as a ministry tool?
The English House provides numerous opportunities to engage with people in our community. It attracts people from all walks of life and age groups. Our teachers are able to invest in students and make an impact in their lives as well as exposing them to the other ways that CRMX serves in our city.
