Helping English Teachers
Learning English in a rural community is not easy
How do we help English Teachers?
Our focus is for English teachers. We provide refresher sessions for them.
- This shows them what is available on the Internet
- We talk to them about different techniques
- If we can, we leave some English books with them
- We will run a class with students and they can watch
It just gives them different views and ideas that they can use and adapt into their own teaching style
For the students:
We will run a few classes. Obviously there are a lot of students and a few of us. Most of the students are keen to practice their English – so any engagement is good. Their are very few foreigners in rural Cambodia, so it is good to help them.
English skills
No matter how enthusiastic the English teachers are, it is always difficult to learn when they and their teachers were local people. Some balance of natural language speakers helps.
English is essential to improve IT. It will make learning and communicating easier.
Books are in very short supply, with not enough for a whole class. Most of the English books in the library are more than 20 years old.
What we are doing?
- We run open days for teachers and students, because refresher sessions benefit everyone.
- For English teachers we talk about techniques used elsewhere. We show them resources that are available on the Internet.
- We help teachers with training of Admin staff who need English for the new IT systems.
- For the students we have sessions with a group to understand their capabilities.
- Identify their levels and provide some more modern books.
