Fall 2026 ESL Training for Teachers and Leaders
We will soon offer a Training Event to equip ESL teachers and program leaders, both those already serving and those who may desire to start an ESL Program. To participate in this training, contact Linda at rickandlindareed@gmail.com. This event will include training on starting Conversation Circles and also on teaching Grammar and Pronunciation in churches and in local communities.
The Fall Training event is scheduled for September 12, 2026, at 1:00 to 4:00 pm.
ESL Lessons from the Gospel of John
Are you an ESL teacher – and sometimes not sure how to transition to the Gospel? You will find help in this resource guide that uses Conversation Guides linked to the Gospel of John. As the students read the gospel of John, we draw from it grammar and pronunciation lessons to help them understand the book of John and learn English.
This resources has proven helpful in our Heritage ESL program. TESOL students and Heritage graduates contributed to the development of this resource. Their names are included on the Lessons.
