‎MAKE HASTE | EnglishConnect Program launches Batch 3 for CoLA freshmen
‎
‎College of Liberal Arts (CoLA) Freshmen participated in the EnglishConnect launch for Batch 3 at the Graduate School Library today, August 19.
‎
‎“When you learn to speak and write in the English language, you're not simply passing a class; you are actually taking your unique Filipino perspectives and sharing them with the world,” said Prof. Cindy Villaseñor.
‎
Elder Mike Davis and Sister Conchita Davis—EnglishConnect teachers—were introduced and welcomed during the launch. The couple missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, will be teaching the English language while promoting personal growth and confidence among participants.
‎
‎EnglishConnect program, now on its third batch, aims to strengthen participants’ English communication skills, enabling them to express their ideas and Filipino perspectives with greater confidence. Beyond language learning, the program also deepens their faith and provides opportunities to expand their knowledge and develop skills that can benefit them in their studies and future careers.
