WEI lessons are designed for interactive teaching. They are designed for correspondence teaching, one-on-one teaching or classroom teaching. Each lesson has a quiz to be graded. The content and quizzes make great PowerPoint material. For example, "The Conflict Between Good and Evil, The King is Coming, and The King has come" can be a theme throughout the Basic series in a classroom environment. The Intermediate series of lessons covers Genesis through the book of Acts of the Apostles. There are 3 books with 7 lessons each. The Intermediate English course that goes with it is tied to the Bible course lesson-for-lesson. The Advanced Bible course consists of 3 books with a total of 29 lessons. The Advanced English course is tied to the Bible course lesson-for-lesson and is designed to help students prepare for the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). Non-English-speaking-students are not able to take the Intermediate and Advanced courses. They need to start with the Beginner's English Course (if the course has been translated into their language) or the Elementary Bible and English course.
For English-speaking teachers and students, the grammar
lessons teach themselves and are suited for campaigns. The vocabulary
words in the Intermediate English lessons are taken from the Intermediate
Bible course and are limited to 500 words. In a short-term mission campaign, the teacher briefly
reviews the English quiz, answers questions, and spends most of the time
talking about the Bible lesson. Most students quickly become more
interested in Bible than in English.
Each day, dozens of students register as they find us on
Google. When a student registers, the Introductory Lesson is availabler.
The student sends their answers to the short quiz, and Bob Towell
(bobtowell@aol.com/) posts the new student on the Internet's
teaching web for any teacher (about 450 teachers) to choose.
Books are available in several foreign translations
including
Albanian, Chinese, French,
Romanian, and Spanish.

At Your Congregation --
for
Non-English Spanish-speaking students
Plan 1:
From Scratch - vocabulary words and English
expressions can be shown to a small group where Spanish
translators are available. A skilled teacher can walk the class through a
dozen or more class sessions preparing them for the WEI's course as used
in STM teaching. They will learn words, expressions, and sounds that
Americans use. The children of families should be in their own class
while the adults are in session. A good format is on a mid week period
late enough for Spanish workers to be available too. Once these students
are able to read at a 4th grade level, move them to a one-on-one study
using
WEI's Basic lessons or continue with plan
2.
Plan 2: WEI's Beginner's English Course for
Spanish-Speaking students is designed for them. This beginner's course
consists of three books, each with seven lessons. Each book comes with a
cassette tape or a CD containing dialogues in English and Spanish. The
course begins with the English alphabet and gradually builds a vocabulary
of 1,200 English words and teaches simple English grammar.
It also
introduces the students to the Bible, the church, and to worship in the
church. Students who finish this course are often able to move right into
the basic WEI Bible and English courses. This approach needs a
teacher-student arrangement of your own design. International translations
books are available.

Step
One: Write or call us and let us know how many students you want.
We will send you the names and addresses
of people from Eastern Europe,
Asia, Africa, Latin America or other parts of the world. With the names, we will
enclose an Introductory Lesson for each student, a
Teacher's Guide, and an order form. Examples of the Guide
and order form are on this page. Step
Two: Send an Introductory Lesson to each student. Print
your name and address in the box at the bottom of page six. Fold
the lesson, address it, tape it along three sides leaving about 1/4 inch
un-taped area at each corner. Stamp it with an airmail stamp and
mail it. (Cost of materials and mailing is often paid by your
local missions committee). Step Three: Order your materials. You can expect a response from
about half of your students, usually within a month or two. If you
don't hear from them within six months, write them a letter. Ask
if they received the Introductory Lesson and if they are still
interested in studying English. When your student returns the
Introductory Lesson, follow the process outlined in the Study Flow Guide
below. Step
Four: Review the materials available and how they are to be
used in the Study Flow Guide below. A sample letter is provided
for your communication once the student has completed the Basic English
and Basic Bible lessons. Of course, your communication will be your
personal letter of encouragement once you have established a shared
relationship with your student. May God bless the seed you plant and
water. WEI MATERIALS The WEI teaching

Learning
English is important to the student. Many are working
toward their TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). The TOEFL is
required for enrollment in an American university.
In your communication, work toward building a

Sample letter: Dear ___, In your English studies, you have read the Bible that is God’s written word to mankind. You have learned that God created the universe and God created man. You have learned that man needs God, that man needs God’s deliverance and forgiveness from sin, and that God has always delivered mankind from sin. You have learned that Jesus is God’s son. God’s way of telling us of his love and forgiveness is through Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection. We can accept God’s forgiveness by following Jesus. Jesus wants us to believe in him, to follow him and to be baptized. I want to encourage you to obey the good-news of Jesus by accepting for your life the way of Jesus, his grace and be baptized for the forgiveness of your sins. At baptism your sins will be forgiven forever and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God will give you power to live for Jesus in your life. When you follow Jesus you will be saved and live in God’s Kingdom forever.

| ADVANCED
ENGLISH -- The English series consists of three books that address
the TOEFL test. The study procedure for Advanced Book 1 requires studying
all lessons followed by taking the test by listening to the cassette tape.
The audio taped test is on the web at
www.weiady.org/tapes/taudio.htm.
Your student will need the scoring sheet. It is on the web too. Advanced Books 2 and 3 are studied in the same way followed by taking the written test in each book. As in the Basic English/ Bible course, each English lesson is tied to the Advanced Bible lesson. ADVANCED BIBLE -- Quizzes are taken and graded by the teacher as is done in the Basic Bible course. |
