English for Living

The MRC Singers
The Singing Group is an extension of the English for Living Program. Singing songs in English is an easy and enjoyable way to learn English.
The Migrant Resource Centre Singing Group was proud to perform at the Harmony Day Public Art Exhibition,
12th of December 2007 |
The Home Tutor Program
The Home Tutor Program matches volunteer tutors with migrants and refugees to Canberra who are unable to attend our regular English classes. The tutors help their students with English in their own homes.
English Conversation Groups
Conversation groups are held in both Civic (1:00pm—3:00pm on Thursdays) and Tuggeranong (10:00am—12:00pm on Mondays). The groups practice conversation on an informal basis and it is often a useful way to put to practice what has been learned from other lessons.
Pronunciation Class
The Migrant Resource Centre also holds regular pronunciation lessons in Civic, once a week on Tuesdays from 1:00pm—3:00pm. Migrants and refugees to Canberra often have difficulties being understood simply for their pronunciation. Students who wish to focus on improving their English pronunciation in particular may feel free to join this group.
