English Now! learners meet in a virtual “face-to-face” group session facilitated by a volunteer, a librarian, or a teacher who incorporates peer learning and leadership development experiences into the English language learning activities.

With guidance from both the facilitator and peers, learners also work through online and/or mobile English courses and in the process, hone their digital literacy skills and develop self-efficacy as learners.
