This friendly English class is designed for adults and parents with limited English who want practical language skills for daily life. Held at Westall Community Hub in Clayton South, the sessions focus on reading, writing and speaking in a relaxed, supportive setting that suits busy family lives. The program is run by Longbeach Learning & Activity Centre and is funded with eligibility criteria, so it can be an accessible option for many local families.
You can expect a welcoming classroom where parents are encouraged to learn at a comfortable pace and build confidence in everyday English. The emphasis is on practical language skills—reading forms, writing short messages, and speaking for everyday tasks—so learners leave feeling more able to support their children and manage household needs.
Sessions are led by a qualified trainer who tailors lessons to the group, using real-life examples and gentle, structured learning. Expect small group interaction, role-play activities that mirror real situations, and opportunities to ask questions about life in Australia, schools and local services.
The class runs during school terms and is suitable for adult learners looking for steady progress rather than a one-off workshop. This makes it ideal for parents who want to combine learning with school drop-offs, pick-ups and other family commitments.
The class runs most Mondays from 10:00 to 13:00 and is scheduled during school terms to accommodate family routines and childcare patterns. Bookings are required and places are funded subject to eligibility, so early registration is recommended to secure a spot.
