Learning English

Learning English at Moseley for Ukraine is more than just attending classes. We create a holistic learning environment that combines different formats, weekly consistency, and a structured approach. Our aim is to make English accessible and comfortable for everyone, regardless of their level.The English Hub works as an integrated programme made up of three interconnected parts: academic foundations, speaking practice, and natural language immersion in real‑life situations. All sessions are organised and supported by the Moseley for Ukraine team, ensuring continuity, quality, and a warm community atmosphere.

 

TUESDAY | 10:00–13:00 — Foundation (ESOL Class)

Our Tuesday ESOL class is the core educational element of the English Hub. The sessions are led by John, an experienced British teacher who offers a structured approach suitable for different levels.

The course includes:

• work with video and audio materials

• grammar explanationsreading and comprehension exercises

• individual attention to each learner’s pace

The modular format means participants can join at any time — new learners can easily integrate into the group. These sessions provide a strong academic foundation that helps participants progress with confidence.

 

THURSDAY | 15:30–17:30 — Activation (English Speaking Club)

Our Speaking Club has moved to a new day and time to complement the ESOL course more effectively. This is a conversational space where theoretical knowledge comes to life. Participants meet at the Moseley Hive to practise speaking with native speakers and volunteers who support the Ukrainian community.

During the club we:

• discuss a wide range of everyday and relevant topics

• practise vocabulary introduced on Tuesdays

• work on overcoming the language barrier

• build confidence in spontaneous speaking

It’s an informal yet structured environment that supports integration, new friendships, and a sense of community within the Ukrainian group.

 

FRIDAY — Consolidation (Walk & Talk)

Walk & Talk is a gentle and natural way to practise English while walking. This format helps reduce the pressure often associated with “formal lessons” and allows participants to use English in real situations, which significantly speeds up learning.

Benefits include:

• relaxed, natural conversation while walkingdevelopment of spontaneous responses

• practice of everyday vocabulary

• strengthening community bonds through regular meet‑ups

It’s also a lovely way to end the learning week and reinforce a new language in the most natural setting.

 

A Comprehensive Approach That Works

The English Hub is designed so that each part reinforces the others:

Tuesday — foundation and theory

Thursday — activation of knowledge through structured conversation

Friday — consolidation in real‑life situations

 

This is how steady progress is built: step by step, in a friendly environment, without pressure, and with the support of experienced volunteers and teachers.Moseley for Ukraine makes English not just a task, but a shared experience and a source of mutual support.
