Irbid, Jordan (ACCTS/ICC) - Being forced to speak the language helps them overcome those fears, to realize that English speakers don’t care if they make mistakes. It also tends to assist them to reach out and authentically build their language skills. 

It is imperative to know English to stand out in the crowd. Learning English will open more opportunities. This language plays a vital role in our life, as it is a universal language of communication by many people around the world. It is also the most spoken language in our country after Arabic.

It is also the most-used language of the internet, accounting for more than half of all websites. For many people, learning English is a way to get access to a broader range of information, connections, and opportunities. The importance of English is evident. 

People often spend all of their time studying grammar and memorizing lists of words instead of going out there and putting what they’ve learned into practice. Anyone who’s taken the plunge and moved away from home to study English, or moved abroad to work or travel, will tell you just how quickly their English skills improve. While studying the written language is still hugely important, especially for improving your grammar and building your vocabulary, the most effective learning always happens face-to-face. 

Speaking, and listening, to other people in English helps to boost the faith you have in your abilities and banish the doubts that are inside your head. So it’s a confidence booster, but there are many more ways in which speaking the language can improve your English skills, fast.

Beneficiaries who consist of Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians are enabled to engage in interactive English lessons that enhance their English skills in reading, writing, and conversation. It assists them to be able to introduce themselves, express their underlying feelings and needs, read, and write essential words and sentences.

Proud of what the Center is providing to our community and the community of refugees our country is hosting.
