English Live Plus - NCS, Dubai

The English Live program aims to provide children and youth with an opportunity to gain English language and communication skills by introducing English and communication fundamentals in a fun, interactive setting. The program will run for a full year curriculum, for 230 eighth grade students, ages 12 to 13 years.

Six classes will be conducted at the school every Monday, the first three classes will be for female students and the second three classes will be for male students. Each class was 40 minutes long and designed to provide support to the school’s English curriculum, focusing on strengthening student’s spoken English

I must start by saying that I was very hesitant to participate and be a volunteer as I have never been involved in something like this. But doing so has totally changed my thinking. It opened my eyes to see that it was fun being surrounded by children who are so enthusiastic in wanting to learn so much more of not just a language but also interacting with us, all from totally different cultures and background. Yes, I am so glad that I did volunteer, even if I have not made a great impact on their lives, they definitely left me walking out that night with a smile on my face and sweet memories that I will carry with me for a long time. Thank you Action Care for giving me this opportunity.
