In addition to our regular classes, the Parkway-Rockwood AEL program will be offering additional classes. To participate, all students must also attend one of our regular listed classes. See below for a description of each class.
Citizenship:
Is the next step on your journey U.S citizenship? We can help you prepare. In our citizenship class, students will practice possible 'opening/ ice-breaking' conversations, which may occur at the beginning of the Citizenship Interview. You will learn to understand and answer questions regarding personal information from the N-400 application. The History and civics materials needed to pass the interview will be practiced. You will learn about the Oath of Allegiance, be able to explain its significance and learn to repeat it confidently at your Swearing-in Ceremony. Call 314-415-4940 for information.
Conversation:
This daily class is a great opportunity to practice English conversation and to make new friends from all over the world. You will have in-depth discussions about current world events. Students will also participate in friendly debate about interesting and thought-provoking topics.
