The Adult ESL class at CIA enthusiastically performed Jingle Bells for the staff and GED class. The performance was a culmination of two weeks for preparation that consisted of: learning the lyrics and definition of words, practicing pronunciation and enunciation, and supporting autonomy by having them make all the decisions regarding their performance. These important experiences provide our students opportunities to gain insights into the American/New York culture, gain confidence with their English skills - not just speaking, but singing in English and, finally, feeling a part of their new hometown...New York.
