Hi! My name is David. I teach a FREE English class for international students & visitors who live in or near Madison, Wisconsin. My classes are open to students at ALL levels of English proficiency -- everyone is welcome! My classes focus on INFORMAL ENGLISH and AMERICAN CULTURE.
I do not use textbooks to teach my classes. Instead, some classes are taught using handouts prepared by me. On other days, we have "Movie Nights", where I show a movie or another type of video, and we discuss the vocabulary in the video. Thus, it is not necessary for you to buy any textbooks to attend my classes.
It is not necessary for you to pre-register to attend any of my classes: just come to one of the classes listed on the schedule below and see if it meets your needs. Since I do not use textbooks, what I teach in one class is usually not related to what I taught in the previous class, so please don't worry if you have to miss class for a day. Also, my classes are informal, so please don't worry if you have to come to class late or leave class early: that's fine!
Here is the schedule for my classes this week:
MONDAY (AUGUST 4, 2008): CLASS FROM ABOUT 7:00-9:00 P.M. IN UNION SOUTH (UNION SOUTH IS LOCATED AT 227 N. RANDALL AVENUE): WE WILL MEET ON THE LOWER LEVEL OF THE RED OAK GRILL, WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF UNION SOUTH. CALL 446-4641 IF YOU CAN'T FIND OUR GROUP
