Students Enjoy English Classes at St. Francis School of Technology
Tek4Kids strives to help students succeed in a global economy; English is a subject of particular focus at our school. Rose Yunker, a volunteer with Tek4Kids, is teaching English at St. Francis School of Technology from September through May. Rose helps students to learn English by using a program called Transparent Language which is taught on computers provided by Tek4Kids. She teaches classes for one hour per day. She states that the students see mastery of the English language as an inevitable key to a successful future. Rose also says many time students have said to her, “I am so happy you are here, I love English.” As a result of teaching English at our school, students may find employment more readily both within Haiti and remotely with other businesses.
