As part of Language Bridges Program’s teacher community,
contributing to the learning abilities of migrant workers in Qatar has proved
to be an incredible experience. Not only was it an eye-opening experience, but
also our interaction with these students has contributed towards the
development of our verbal and communication skills. On our first day of
classes, we were skeptical about what to expect; however, all our doubts were
proven wrong after the conclusion of our second class.
Teaching our students wasn’t as challenging as we perceived
it to be, especially since our students were intermediate speakers of the
English language. Saying that we had underestimated our students’ ability in
speaking and writing is an understatement, even more so when they had shown up
to class with their essays completed. Recognizing the evident commitment and
excitement felt by our students’ about their classes had motivated us to work
harder in truly making a difference in their lives.
Giving back to the community is an essential step towards
making a difference in today’s world. By giving back, we are showing our
gratitude towards and a sense of appreciation of these migrant workers’ endless
efforts and hard work.
