Our Program
Welcome to English for Us, a program specialized in teaching English to students with special educational needs. Our goal is to offer accessible classes to all. We encourage the practice of functional English to promote educational inclusion, empower students' self-esteem and social skills, increase their employability, and develop international awareness in our unique students.
We have been working on this project since 2015, but in the summer of 2020, we decided to create a fun, challenging, and valuable summer activity for students who typically do not have the opportunity to travel abroad to practice English. With this premise, and with the help of our colleagues at PennWest Clarion University, we took our students "abroad" through virtual English classes taught by professors from the United States.
It was an incredible and transformative experience that opened students to the rest of the world.
Now we continue.
What are you going to learn?
Learning English is very important because it helps us be an active part of the world. It helps us build an inclusive setting at school, university, work, and society. In addition, it allows us to travel, meet new people and cultures and make friends in other countries.
Students will work on the A1 / A2 levels of the Global Scale of the CERF
⦁ Can introduce themselves to others and ask /answer questions about personal details, such as where they live, people they know and things they have. Family and friends and basic descriptions.
⦁ Can describe their background in simple terms, their immediate environment and things and events that are important to them.
⦁ Can communicate simple routine tasks, things they like, and what do they do in their free time and during the week.
Students work on the four skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing.

Students in each group will work on a Team Project on a topic of their choice. Led by our expert teachers, the group will decide how they will develop the project and how they will present it to the rest of the groups.
All projects will be displayed in our virtual classroom.
