How to Use WEI Lessons

Internet Teaching -- largely, planting the seed of the gospel

Each day, dozens of students register as they find us on Google. These students are assigned a teacher by Jan Towell, jrtowell@aol.com. When a student registers on the Internet, the Introductory lesson is sent automatically & the returned quiz is automatically graded. Teachers are assigned to review returned quizzes, to send the next grammar and Bible reading lesson, and to correspond with each student. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO. Communication is done without your email address and the risk of viruses. Thousands of students are now registered. New teachers are needed at all times. Financial support is an ongoing need to keep Google active. This is a great mission field for Missions Committees to consider.

Campaign Teaching -- short term mission trips.

Campaigns have huge benefits for both the student and the teacher. A campaign is arranged to attract students by offering FREE English. Each student is assigned to a campaign teacher. The student brings the quizzes ready for review at a scheduled time, usually daily. All of the Basic lessons can be covered within a 6 weeks campaign. Typically, up to a hundred students study during the summer's 6 week period. These students will be High School or College students. Books are available in several foreign translations including Albanian, Chinese, French, Romanian, and Spanish. For more information about short-term missions, contact Tom Langley at weimaryville@aol.com.

In Your Congregation -- Non-English Spanish-speaking students

Spanish-speaking students are abundant in most US cities. Offering FREE English is a powerful tool for gathering teens and adult students in a chosen location. 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.

For English-speaking students, we highly recommend using the basic and advanced WEI Bible courses in regular teen and adult Bible classes. Students who complete the Basic and Advanced lessons will know more Bible than many in the congregation. These lessons are easy to teach, preferably by an interactive method based on the lesson content and the quizzes. Each lesson ends with the student writing a statement to the question "What did you learn that was meaningful to you?" Use them in your small groups during the week.

Postal Mail Teaching: step-by-step procedure

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.

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. Get your student together with the missionary for further Bible study. Encourage your student to continue studying the Advanced English and Bible courses with you.
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/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.
