Learning English |
The ESL (English as a Second Language) Course is a course designed to give
a progressive programme of study in basic English Language skills. Our special
purpose is to help speakers of languages other than English to prepare for
Christian ministry, but students with different aims are also accepted.

The duration of the course is 40
weeks. Due to the fact that some of the students have children, the ESL
Course tries to follow the Australian school calendar year, subject to students'
visas, from February to December.
Each week there are 20 hours of lectures and a minimum of 20 hours of assignments.
The course material covers: grammar, vocabulary, conversation, pronunciation,
comprehension, and Bible English. We are in the process of setting up a
language laboratory.
Students are encouraged to make social and church contacts with "native"
English speakers. If they have the opportunity for secular employment (Visa
permitting) in the closing weeks of their course, this is encouraged as
it makes them use the English language in a normal conversational environment.
Applicants are strongly advised to take out some form of health insurance whilst with us. Your health needs are your own responsibility.

Because GLO Ministries Ltd. is a Christian
organisation, there are certain rules which all students are expected to
follow.
E.g. onsite there are no:
Light are turned off in the main rooms
(e.g. lecture, library, and dining rooms) at 10:30pm when the alarm is set.
Outside doors will be locked but all students are given keys and if anyone
comes in after 10:30pm, it is that person's responsibility to check that
all outside doors are locked after themselves. Lost keys can be replaced
at a cost of $5.00. No student is to use the office equipment. Please ask
one of the staff to help you.
Ordinary courtesies are expected to be observed and consideration for other
people's culture and customs is of high importance.
Referees for student application forms must not be of the student's own
family but from people who have known the student for a reasonable length
of time.
Our aim is to help you.
