Stirling School of English would like to talk to sponsors who speak their language
The Stirling School of English is looking for a sponsor with an interest in increasing global understanding. The school offers free English tuition to non-English speakers.
It has more than two hundred students currently, from over thirty countries, being taught by about twenty-five qualified volunteers in thirty different classes each week.
It caters for students of all ranges of proficiency in the language, beginners to advanced. These students are here either working or studying and every part of the globe is represented in the school.
But the school does more than teach language skills. It also helps students integrate into the community and provides social activities to reduce a sense of isolation. Uniquely amongst teaching institutions, students can join at any time during the year, so they can begin to learn the language as soon as they arrive in the area. This is particularly important in helping people integrate into the community.
The school also links to employers seeking to improve the language skills of their migrant workers.
Design
"Please help the Stirling School of English to continue to offer free English Language teachingSponsorship would enable us to maintain our free service, but also expand our activities (eg extending crèche facilities to enable more working mothers to attend), improve our premises and our training of volunteers.
"It would also help us commission the design of teaching materials as well as purchase computer equipment to facilitate modern learning methods.
"Above all, it would help produce financial stability and relieve the school from reliance on a variable grant regime, as well as enabling it to develop as a social enterprise and allow it to generate income.
"Sponsors would be welcome to get involved as consultants to put together a professional business plan and help the school develop in creative ways and sustain its activities into the future".
