DRIVE- THROUGH ELF (English as a Lingua Franca)
Drive-through
A drive-through, or drive-thru, is a type of service provided by a business that allows customers to purchase products without leaving their cars. The format was first pioneered in the United States in the 1940s but has since spread to other countries.
Lingua Franca
A lingua franca is a language systematically used to communicate between persons not sharing a mother tongue, in particular when it is a third language, distinct from both persons' mother tongues, often a basic form of speech with simplified grammar.
Lingua franca is a functionally defined term, independent of the linguistic history or structure of the language.
Lingua franca may also refer to the de facto language within a more or less specialized field.

ABOUT OUR CLASSES
There are many class activities: reading, pronunciation, description, discussion, grammar, Business English, classes for absolute beginners. And remember, you can ask questions at anytime during class. You can learn from other people's questions and from the teacher's answers.
Classes can be taken as needed.
Don't be afraid your question is too difficult, or that other students will not understand. The teacher will answer for everybody. Don't be afraid to ask a question just because you're worried it might not be correct English. That's the reason you're here! Ask your question anyway. The teacher will understand, and by correcting your question, the whole class learns something.
