Ahd Abu Hassan, an eleventh-grade student at Al-Khansa School in Madaba, had always struggled with English. While she excelled in other subjects, English felt daunting and difficult to grasp. Deep down, she longed to speak the language fluently and confidently, but her fear of making mistakes held her back. Before receiving support, English was one of her least favorite subjects, and she often hesitated to participate in class.<\/span><\/p>\n

The remedial English club at Al-Khansa School was designed to provide students like Ahd with a supportive and non-judgmental environment to practice and improve their English skills. Through interactive exercises and consistent encouragement from dedicated teachers, the club helped students build confidence and develop their language proficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ahd\u2019s greatest challenge was her fear of speaking English. Lacking confidence in her ability to communicate, she avoided class discussions and felt uncomfortable practicing in front of others. This fear hindered her progress and limited both her academic and personal growth.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”8005″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”tabRowHulf”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1746681362300{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

With support from the Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair Refugee Education Fund and the school\u2019s remedial English club, Ahd began receiving the guidance she needed to overcome her fears. The club offered structured learning opportunities, interactive speaking sessions, and role-playing exercises that gradually boosted her confidence and language skills.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ahd attended the remedial sessions regularly, engaging in role-playing, discussions, and interactive exercises that improved her speaking, listening, and vocabulary skills. As her hesitation faded, she grew more confident and began embracing new challenges, like delivering short presentations in class. The club transformed her self-confidence and communication skills, sparking a passion for public speaking, strengthening her relationships with peers, and encouraging active participation in school activities. Her improved English not only boosted her academic performance but also enhanced her leadership abilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

A defining moment in Ahd\u2019s journey came when she volunteered to host the school\u2019s morning assembly in English\u2014a reflection of her remarkable growth in fluency and confidence. Her transformation inspired other students to overcome similar challenges, leading to increased participation in the remedial English clubs and a noticeable boost in students\u2019 confidence with the language. “I used to fear speaking English, but now I love expressing myself in the language. The support I received helped me believe in myself, and now I want to inspire others to do the same.”<\/em> \u2013 Ahd Abu Hassan<\/span><\/p>\n
