Comprehensive

Beginning, intermediate and advanced ESL classes focus on listening, reading, writing, pronunciation and conversation as they study English grammar.  Various classes use different books and the teachers will share this information with the students.  If a student thinks a class is too easy or too difficult, they may try other classes.  Classes are free and everyone is welcome.

Conversation

Students who have studied English but want more practice in listening and speaking may want a conversation class.  Classes are offered at intermediate and advanced levels.  Teachers may provide help with grammar and pronunciation as students learn to understand and carry on a conversation in English.  Some teachers provide topics for discussion and students share their culture as they learn about life in Huntsville.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN OUR ESL MINISTRY

I am an ESL student at Weatherly Heights Baptist Church. I was born in the USSR and moved to the US in 2003 for a better and safe life. When I came to the US, I didn’t know a word of English. And I started learning in this church…I am very grateful to the church that it’s members organized ESL classes for us.

Thanks to these classes, I, as many other immigrants, can speak, read, and write in English. I really appreciate all the help and care we’re getting at Weatherly Heights Baptist Church.

I am from Peru… I arrived here six months ago… here live my two grandchildren, and I brought with me many concerns and questions too… 

I would like to be a great grandmother, and I wish being able to communicate with them and other people.

It wasn’t easy to leave my home..But I am very grateful with many people in the church, everyone is very kind… And Wanda, my teacher, is very dedicated…

Thank you very much for giving life to the hopes and dreams of people like me who want to know a New World.
