English classes for teachers

ALMOST half of Javea’s Local Police have put their names down for an English course.

The 35 members of the Policia Local will be attending lessons given by a group of volunteers to assist them in communicating with tourists and foreign residents.

“Knowledge of English is good, especially in a tourist resort like Javea,” said Public Safety councillor Juan Ortola.

Javea has a large British community, he said.  “Besides,” he added, “the majority of Europeans speak English.”

Officers will attend classes twice a week in the same building where Adult Education (EPA) classes are held.
