English Learning Centre...

We are setting up a school - called the LEOT English Learning Centre (LELC) - in Luang Prabang.

We believe that we will be able to benefit the local community by providing an opportunity for more people to learn English. Whilst there are other schools that teach English, these schools are for students who can afford the fees.

We shall provide lessons at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels on a charitable basis and provide students who reach the required standard with a certificate.  Each class will be for between 12 and 15 students.  We hope to teach initially about 80 students a year.  

We aim to commence classes from September 2012. This will give us sufficient time to complete the school, recruit the teachers and prepare the necessary course materials.

Whilst the primary objective is to teach English, we hope that as things evolve we will be able to run other classes in subjects like IT.

Location

On the side of the Nam Khan river, in a currently undeveloped part of the town but within easy access to the main town itself.

Building

A standard 5 room school design, built within the heritage area of Luang Prabang, to include 3 classrooms, a library/study, a room for teachers/administration and toilets.

Classrooms

3 main class rooms to cater for Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced levels.  

Study/Library

Apart from a small library, the room will be fitted out with  computers, desks and chairs in order to provide a proper area for study outside of the classroom.

Teachers/Administration

A room to cater for the full-time and voluntary teachers, along with the school administration.
