English language learners are welcome to check out our International Friends group. On Tuesday morning when SIU is in session, we offer free “English as a Second Language” (ESL) classes for women. We use the Intercambio curriculum, and materials are provided at no charge through the generosity of the University. Sessions meet from 9:00-10:30 AM at the Baptist Campus Ministry Center, located at 825 West Mill street, during spring and fall semesters. Free parking is available on location. Women from all countries and all faiths (or with no religious affiliation) are welcome to attend. While our lessons focus on conversational language skills, the added benefit of making new friends is definitely a plus. For more information, contact Pam White at 618-559-3818.
