Our LST Team!
LST is open to everyone in the community, of all ages and all levels of English. At the moment, they are meeting with each student (or "reader") twice a week, or more as requested. We have 25 students so far.
Their conversation sessions are hosted in our church's classrooms. The conversations are based on short texts that the student reads out-loud, found in a workbook assembled from the book of Luke. In addition to the weekly one-on-one sessions, LST hosts weekly parties where all the students can get together for a cultural exchange and more conversational English practice.
We've spent the past week getting to know our new LST team: eating together and showing them some of our weekly activities. LST is also getting involved at the local university by hanging out with students studying English. This week and the next, they will be attending an English class as living "show-and-tell". Having them here is a great experience for them and the entire church. And the cultural exchange goes both ways: at English conversation hour on Friday, our LST team learned how to shoot a bottle cap in the air and how to split an apple in quarters using just your hands.
