LET’S TALK!!

Gwinnett County Public Library to Offer

Conversational English for Non-Native Speakers

 

Gwinnett County Public Library, in partnership with the English Language Institute (ELI) of Gwinnett Technical College, will offer Let’s Talk, English conversation groups for non-native speakers, at four branch libraries beginning January 22, 2008 

Recently released census estimates show 30% of Gwinnett County residents speaks a language other than English at home. Of those, approximately half report that they do not speak English well.

Gwinnett County Public Library seeks to support an already outstanding English as a Second Language program at ELI by providing additional opportunities for students and others to practice conversational English.  

Groups will meet from 7:30 to 8:30 pm at the following locations:

MON: Lawrenceville Branch; 1001 Lawrenceville Hwy.; Lawrenceville

TUES: Lilburn Branch; 788 Hillcrest Road; Lilburn

WED: Norcross Branch; 6025 Buford Hwy.; Norcross

THURS: Buford Branch; 2100 Buford Hwy.; Buford

 Registration is not required. Groups will be held weekly from Tuesday, January 22, through Thursday, May 8.

 Lessons are geared to an audience at the advanced beginner/early intermediate levels. Each week a thematic topic will be explored, focusing exclusively on listening and speaking skills. All groups will be led in English. Completion certificates will be granted to those who attend 10 or more sessions.
