Improve Your English Speaking and Listening Skills through Meaningful Conversations Based on the Bible
Would you like to become more confident speaking English while discussing something that truly matters?
Our Conversational English Course gives intermediate and advanced English students the opportunity to do just that..
During this 10-week course, we will explore one central question:
What can we know about God by looking at Jesus Christ?
Jesus said:
“Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.” – John 14:9
Through the words, actions, character, death, and resurrection of Jesus, we will explore what He reveals about the Father while using English to discuss, explain, ask questions, express opinions, and apply what we learn.
Many English students spend years studying grammar and vocabulary but still find it difficult to have a real conversation.
One reason is simple: knowing English and using English are not the same thing.
This course puts speaking at the center of the learning experience.
Instead of spending most of the class listening to explanations, you will regularly use English with the teacher and other students through:
The goal is not perfect English.
The goal is to help you understand more easily, speak more naturally, express your thoughts more clearly, and become more confident participating in real conversations.
The biblical theme for this 10-week course comes largely from the Gospel of John.
In John 17:3, Jesus describes eternal life as knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ whom He sent.
Elsewhere, the Bible tells us that Jesus is the image of the invisible God and the exact representation of God’s nature.
That gives us the central idea for the course:
If we want to understand what God is like, we should look at Jesus.
Throughout the course, we will examine what Jesus’ words and actions reveal about the Father and consider what those truths mean for the way we relate to God, worship Him, obey Him, pray, and treat other people.
What did Jesus mean when He said, “Whoever has seen me has seen the Father”?
Learn to explain how Jesus reveals the Father and practice phrases for clarifying ideas and correcting misunderstandings.
Is eternal life simply life that never ends?
Explore Jesus’ definition of eternal life and discuss the difference between knowing about God and knowing God.
What does the Bible mean when it calls Jesus “the image of the invisible God”?
Practice explaining difficult ideas in simple English while exploring how Christ reveals God clearly.
Love is more than an emotion.
Look at the ways Jesus demonstrated love through service, compassion, sacrifice, and giving Himself for others.
How could Jesus welcome sinners without approving sin?
Discuss holiness, truth, mercy, repentance, and why holiness should not be confused with harshness.
Jesus noticed suffering people, welcomed the weary, touched those others avoided, and wept with those who grieved.
Use Gospel stories to practice storytelling while discovering what Jesus’ compassion reveals about the Father.
Jesus said His teaching came from the Father.
Discuss what it means not only to hear Jesus but to take His words seriously and put His teaching into practice.
Why did Jesus perform miracles?
Explore how His works functioned as signs revealing the Father’s power, mercy, authority, provision, and saving purpose.
The cross tells us something profound about both God’s love and His holiness.
Practice explaining how love, justice, mercy, sacrifice, forgiveness, and reconciliation come together at the cross.
What difference does the resurrection make?
Bring everything together as we discuss how the risen Christ brings us into relationship with the Father and how knowing God leads to worship, obedience, hope, and mission.
Learning individual English words is useful, but conversations are built with phrases and sentences.
Throughout the course, you will repeatedly practice useful expressions. The objective is for useful English to become easier to remember and more natural to use.
Learning something once is usually not enough to make it part of your spoken English. That is why important language from earlier classes will return throughout the course.
You may learn a phrase in one lesson, retrieve it from memory later in the same class, use it in a dialogue, encounter it again in a future lesson, and eventually use it independently in a new conversation.
This helps move English from something you recognize to something you can actually say.
This is a Conversational English Course. That means students should expect to participate.
Many activities are done simultaneously in pairs or small groups so that more students have more opportunities to speak.
The objective is not to put you on the spot. It is to give you enough practice that speaking English becomes progressively easier and more comfortable.
Throughout the course, you will also practice understanding spoken English and communicating more clearly. Pronunciation is very important if you want to be understood when you speak.
Special attention will be given to pronunciation challenges that are common for Brazilian Portuguese speakers.
The focus is clear, understandable English, not eliminating your accent.
Classes are taught in English by a native English speaker from the United States.
This gives students regular exposure to natural spoken English, pronunciation, expressions, questions, and the rhythm of real conversation.
At the same time, the class is structured for English learners, so the objective is not simply to hear a native speaker-it is to interact, understand, respond, and speak.
This is not a beginner English course.
It is designed for students who already have an intermediate or higher level of English and want more opportunities to actually use the language.
You should be able to:
You do not need perfect grammar, perfect pronunciation, or an advanced vocabulary.
You need enough English to participate and a willingness to speak.
If you already understand English but need more opportunities to speak it and participate in conversations, this course was designed for you.
For ten weeks, you will practice conversational English with a native speaker and other students while exploring one of the most important themes in the Bible:
Knowing Jesus in order to know the Father.
Come ready to listen.
Come ready to think.
Come ready to speak.
And come ready to know God more deeply through His Word.
