Building Bridges

The Conversational English group has just completed another fun, yet productive day at the Bible School in Martin, Slovakia. We have 18 dedicated teachers who have taught about 13 students in the morning session and 59 students in the afternoon session. Our mission statement is "Building bridges through language, friendship, and faith." In our classes we are definitely building relationships with the students as we learn more about them personally and further expand their knowledge of English. In our morning class we have seven returning second year students who made progress in English throughout their school year at the Bible school. It is such a privilege to work with them again. Our afternoon class includes both first and second year students from the youth worker program. Next week we will teach all 59 students all day using interviews, role plays, and other activities as springboards to conversation. Students will participate in a walk around Martin with the goal of discussing in English what we see and returning to class to have further discussions.
