Encounter - English Learning

Our ‘Encounter – English Learning program’ has been running for more than 10 years with a team of very experienced volunteers.

The Clayton Church of Christ ‘Encounter – English Learning’ program assists people and especially those new to Australia, to build essential skills and live well within Australia. 

Passionate in wanting to see new-comers to Australia build English language skills, connect with others and settle well in Australia, they will give you a warm and respectful welcome.

The program will not only to improve your English language skills, but also build those conversational skills that are essential for you to live, study, work and make friends in Australia. 

Our ‘English Learning’ program covers all the basics of listening, speaking, reading and writing in English. It also incorporates teaching about the Australian culture, customs and way of life. Practical everyday life requirements of how to take public transport, be safe in the water, pay bills, speak at work and much more will enable you to become more independent and able to successfully access important services. 

Classes at Pre-Beginner, Beginner and Intermediate levels respect your level of learning and are conducted both onsite and online. A minimal $2 fee each week helps offset some operating costs.
