Speaking fluent English is a necessary communication tool and an important skill needed in most countries, and also in the Philippines. Hence Goducate is offering an English Corner program to Leonora Salapantan National High School in San Miguel, Iloilo, the area where the Goducate Training Center is situated.
The program consists of “creative, stress-free, and laugh-off-your-mistakes” sessions of conversational English for grade 7 students. It kicked off in late August and is open to those interested grade 7 students who have secured their parents’ consent to take part. The English Corner facilitators meet their students every Thursday afternoon for an hour of fun-filled and resourceful English conversation.
The English Corner facilitators are Goducate trainees who can speak English well, and who have been trained as facilitators. 60 enthusiastic students who aspire to be good and confident English speakers attend every week.
