Expectations in learning English at CACE

1.    Speaking another language is just like learning new dance steps.  Train your speech muscle by repeating and saying often until you feel comfortable and automatic. 

2.     Use English to communicate with your classmates.  Try out new words, phrases, and expressions.   

3.   Ask at least one question a day!  You will remember the question and answer better because you think about it and say it more.

4.     Make English speaking friends at work, in your neighborhood, or join a parent group and children's school community.

5.     Take a few minutes every day to think in English - Watch this video to learn how to think in English!

6.    Review your notes and classwork after class or during the weekend.
