Yesterday, we met with Rev. Michelle McKinnon-Young and her husband Gary, an English teacher, computer expert and church musician. Now, I know a little more about the project we will be working on. For the past year, the couple has been living in the Czech Republic under the auspices of the United Methodist Church, and they’re home on a very brief leave. They’d asked for help in running a series of week-long English camps. Pastors, clerical workers, and youth are the target audience. Structured English camps are the ultimate goal.
Thing is… these things take time to get started. Gary and Michelle have done formal publicity, but it takes time for locals to value a project and feel comfortable with the teachers. Much publicity occurs via word of mouth.
To begin with, we will be working with very small groups, which is actually my favorite form of teaching. Until numbers increase, we will have the luxury of individualizing each student’s program.
