More planning today. The five Teaching Assistants will be: Hser Nay Chris, Peh Htoo, Tha Lord, Maw Lay and Htoo K Paw. We have decided on a ten week oral course for 15 to 20 beginning students. The classes will start on February 20th and end on April 24th. Cheryl Zeiner will assist with the TA class and we have developed a job description for them.

[previous post January 16th] Saturday morning, I met with a core group from the Karen community to plan for the Winter/Spring session. Pastor Ich and Cheryl Zeiner were there to assist. We decided to concentrate this session's efforts on the beginner students and offer an oral ESOL class. Five students who have a higher level of English proficiency will be trained as Teaching Assistants. They will meet at 9:30 to get ready for the 10:00 to 11:00 class. Members of the congregation will be able to help out as Conversation Partners arriving at 9:30 to find out the theme/grammar for the day. This will allow for more interaction for all three groups: Beginner ESOL, Teaching Assistants and Conversation Partners.
