HOPE – English as a Second Language Classes
CLASS INFORMATION:
Our classes are called HOPE, which stands for Helping Others Practice English. Our goal is to help students learn practical conversation skills and make meaningful connections.
We are followers of Jesus. We want to obey Jesus because we believe he is God. In the Bible, Jesus tells us to love and welcome our neighbors. You are our neighbor! We care about you and want to help you learn English and be successful in America.
Our English teachers are trained volunteers. From September to May we have two semesters of English classes for adults. Classes are once a week for two hours. Our classes focus on conversation, learning to understand and speak English. We have beginner to advanced classes and students are encouraged to start any time.
Classes are held at four locations around the city of Erie, some meet during the day and some at night. Check back for dates and times!
