Our goal is to help learners around the world expand opportunities through developing English skills in an environment of faith, fellowship, and growth.
Faith
In EnglishConnect, we act in faith to seek God’s help and strength in learning English. Throughout our curriculum, we apply a spiritual principle of learning that helps us understand our true potential and God’s ability to increase our capacity to learn.
Fellowship
In EnglishConnect conversation groups, we foster friendships and build a support network that uplifts and inspires us. While we may come from different backgrounds, together we can increase our confidence, learn from our mistakes, and celebrate our progress.
Growth
EnglishConnect is more than learning English; it’s also about increasing our capacity to learn and teach. No matter where we begin, we work hard and partner with God to achieve our goals. We act in faith to practice English daily, increase our skills, and to open doors to exciting possibilities, like…- Better employment
- Higher education opportunities
- Service opportunities
- New friendships
Six Principles of Learning
1. You are a child of God
In EnglishConnect, we know that every participant is a child of God with eternal potential. When we understand our true potential, we can partner with God to do things that seem impossible – including learning English.
2. Exercise faith in Jesus Christ
We invite learners to learn about Jesus Christ and exercise faith in Him. Through the grace and power of Jesus Christ, we can receive strength and help to learn and change.
3. Take responsibility
As children of God, we have the power to choose who we will become. Although others can help us, we must choose to do the work necessary to achieve our learning goals.
4. Love and teach one another
One of the most amazing parts of EnglishConnect is the experience of learning together in our conversation groups. As we love, teach, and learn together, we invite God’s help, and our capacity grows.
5. Press forward
Learning a language takes time, effort, and persistence, but we aren’t alone. God can help us have strength and courage to keep working toward our goals.
6. Counsel with the Lord
Counseling with the Lord through prayer can help us evaluate our progress and focus our efforts. As we seek His guidance, we can find solutions to our problems, and overcome our challenges.
