The English Language Conversation Group is a free class for ASW parents that meet on Mondays 8:45 to 10:15 and Wednesdays 8:45 to 9:45. Please join us for coffee, conversation, and fun! The focus is on what you need from a native speaker to become more fluent. Discussions include some of the nuances of the English language such as idioms, slang, and colloquial expressions not usually covered in a typical language class. Mondays are a more structured classroom environment, while Wednesdays are more relaxed with coffee and conversation. On Mondays, based on the lesson plan, the large group is broken down into smaller groups for more dedicated and tailored instruction. Feel free to bring any publications, school announcements or real life examples that you need help with. Attendance to all the classes is not mandatory but encouraged to benefit the most from understanding the language. If you are interested in enrolling in the free class, then please contact the group at ptoenglish@aswarsaw.org This month, the class schedule is: Monday, October 26: 8:45 - 10:15 am in the MPR Wednesday, October 28: 8:45 - 9:45 am in the cafeteria All Wednesdays from 8:45 to 9:45 in the cafeteria We are looking for native English speaking volunteers to help lead the group.
