English Proficiency Program

This seminar-workshop exposes teachers to effective English as a Second Language

The Gabay Guro English Proficiency Program is a 24-hour seminar-workshop designed to address the language teaching gap evidenced by poor student performance in national achievement tests. During the workshop, teacher-participants are exposed to English as a Second Language (ESL) methods which have been proven to be more effective than traditional language learning activities.
