Beginner English classes
The English At Large Beginner English classes are for learners who have no prior experience with English. This 8-week class, taught by two co-teachers, meets twice a week for 8 weeks. Classes are 1½ hours long. The first step in an English learner’s language journey, this class focuses on basic spoken communication, including: greetings, introductions, vocabulary for people, places and things, time, numbers, and money.
Classes are taught by volunteer college students and held on the campus of Tufts and Brandeis Universities.
Registration for the 2018-2019 Academic Year Beginner English Program is Ongoing
Information on class schedules and location will be confirmed with registration
