OUR ENGLISH LANGUAGE TUTORING PROGRAM,
available for
the MBL International Community (READ
AT BOTTOM FOR
whoi NOTE)
For many years we have had an informal language tutoring program
to assist
members of
our international community
who
asked for
assistance
using the English language
in your work
and in your
day - to - day
life.
This
conversational
program has
always been
informal, we
have based it
upon training
held at MBL
and WHOI over
the years,
and
our own
experiences
living in
countries
outside of the
US.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It
has ranged
from assisting
people who
think they
would like
extra
experience
speaking English either professionally or in everyday conversation,
or both areas.
What the program is not...is a structured grammar
program.
There's
another
program in in
Falmouth which
is more
structured
around
grammar.
Sometimes
we have even
assisted more
fluent
speakers of English who
wish to
increase their
speaking
opportunities
within the
context of
their lives,
sometimes as
informally as
having lunch
together, or
taking a walk
around Eel
Pond.
We pair up volunteers from the MBL community for one hour a week with people seeking language
assistance,
when people
let us know
they are
interested in
having a
language
tutor.
We have done one-on-one tutoring, tutoring around lunch
time, tutoring while hiking
around Woods
Hole.
Just respond to me if you are interested in this -
and I will get
back to you.
