Dear MCAEL Community:
Words matter. That is one of the reasons we support the network of programs that teach English to adults – we know that for people to reach their goals being able to use their words is critical. Think about how many times in a day you say something to someone, listen to another person speak, or read or write something ---how successful would you feel if you could not communicate about basic every-day living situations.
For immigrant adults, learning English is the bedrock of how they connect with our shared community. Improving ones’ English allows for a better job; it allows for a parent to work with their child and teachers on schoolwork, and allows them to conduct doctor’s appointments without having their children interpret for them.
Words matter. Thanks for visiting our website and stay in touch.
Kathy Stevens
Executive Director
