The GLObal English Institute is a Christian based ESL course for improving in
general English. It is situated in Riverstone, an hour
GLO is currently planning the 2010 Learning English course beginning in
February in Sydney Australia.
GLO Ministries invites you to join us for our 2010 English and Australian
cross-cultural course. You will enjoy great Christian friendship and fellowship
with
two caring qualified Australian teachers. Please download the Application Form
at the
bottom of this page to apply.
VISAS ARE AVAILABLE
We can help you with a one-year
visa for either our ESL course OR our Discipleship Course in
Location : Riverstone is a small community with a
train station, hair dresser, bank, pharmacy, butcher, supermarket, newsagency,
doctor, petrol station, sports centre, swimming pool, bakery, primary and
secondary schools. All these are within walking distance from the campus.
GLObal English Institute shares a building with GLO Ministries. It provides
student accommodation, staff offices, two class rooms, a library with ten
computers, a kitchen, a dining room, ladies bathroom and toilets. There is also
a games room, vegetable garden, volleyball court, mobile home and three units
located on the campus. Rouse Hill shopping centre is a ten minute drive away
and is a convenient place to shop. You can drive there or catch a bus. Also,
the train goes to places like
Some ESL Students on a trip.
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 have set 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.

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

to help you.
Ordinary courtesies are expected to be observed and consideration for other
