In the heart of Kettering, adjacent to the busy intersection of Marshall and Stroop, a brand new ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) site has just started. The Center for Spiritual Living of Greater Dayton has graciously opened their doors to the MVCTC Aspire classes. High Beginner and Intermediate level English language learners meet two days a week, for four hour classes. By the end of the first week, attendance showcased students coming from fifteen different countries and speaking twelve different languages!
The High Beginning instructor is Molly GunderKline, who is starting her thirteenth year with the Aspire program, and she's not a bit superstitious about that! Heather Jones, the Intermediate teacher, has been with Aspire for a total of five years, and is looking forward to serving many more. We are also fortunate to have wonderful, loyal volunteers who have supported the Aspire program for many years and have helped countless students on their English-learning journey.
We want everyone to know that there is still an ESOL presence here in Kettering. Classes meet every Monday and Thursday morning from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The address is 4000 Benfield Dr, Kettering, OH 45429.
