Breaking Language Barriers for Integration and Employment
At Fluency First, we recognize the challenges asylum seekers and refugees face when navigating language barriers in their new communities. Acquiring basic English communication skills is a vital step towards their comfort and confidence in unfamiliar surroundings.
#English4Refugees
Between March and October 2022, our dedicated team of 80 volunteer teachers successfully delivered our 8-week fluency program to over 1000 Ukrainian refugees, under the guidance of Voice Coach Sylvie Lui.
Tailored Learning: Meeting Individual Language Needs
Understanding the unique language levels and requirements of our learners is paramount. That’s why we customize our program to address their specific needs. Our structured curriculum focuses on the essential language skills required for success, with a strong emphasis on real-life scenarios.
Online and Future Plans: Expanding Across the United Kingdom
Currently, our program is accessible online with minimal resource requirements. However, we are actively working on developing face-to-face (F2F) classes across the United Kingdom, providing even more opportunities for learning.
Interactive Learning: Real-Life Scenarios and Speaking Clubs
We believe in making language learning meaningful. Our program incorporates interactive activities, including role-plays and discussions, allowing students to apply their language skills authentically. Additionally, our upcoming speaking clubs offer a chance for continued learning post the 8-week course.
Flexible Scheduling: Accommodating Varied Commitments
Recognizing the diverse commitments and responsibilities of asylum seekers and refugees, we offer flexible scheduling options. This includes online classes and evening sessions, ensuring accessibility for all.
Dedicated Volunteer Team: Putting Students First
Our team comprises passionate volunteers from around the world, all driven by a common goal – supporting asylum seekers and refugees on their language journey. We are entirely volunteer-run, committed to making a difference.
2023: A Year of Growth and Impact
In 2023, we transformed into a Community Interest Company (CIC), reinvesting all profits into our students’ education. Exciting initiatives await, including online Speaking Practice Classes and forthcoming F2F teaching projects. Join us in empowering individuals through language proficiency and integration.
