Epworth’s Ana A Brito Foundation ESOL Teacher

Background: The ESOL Program offers English and Computer classes for adults needing to learn or improve their English language and their computer skills. Because we believe in a holistic approach to education, in addition to English, during the school year special activities are offered in areas such as parenting, health, and other subjects. The program seeks to enrich the lives of all participants not only through the classes and special activities, but by providing a welcoming and Christian environment where all people feel respected, valued, and welcome.

The program follows the Ventures curriculum created and published by Cambridge University Press. We offer six levels: Basic, Level 1. Level 2, Level 3, Level 4 and Level 5. Classes are taught in person at Epworth with some students on Zoom at the same time.

• Prepare lesson plans for his/her class based on the Ventures ESOL text and workbook. In addition to the text materials, teachers are encouraged to enrich their classes with additional material they consider valuable.
• Follow up students’ progress and report at the end of semester.
