“Due to the lack of opportunities for learning English and instructors with experience, we, the visual impaired people are now behind the curve in our English ability.” The general secretary of the visual impaired people society, M.D Jahangir Alam, emphasizes that visual impaired people can improve their English skills by having fun and by using online resources if they are given opportunities.
A special workshop on ‘English Speaking and Listening skills’ was held by ‘English Teaching and Training Arena (ETTA BD)’ for visual impaired individuals on 9th September, Friday 2022 at 3:00pm. This special workshop was facilitated by the chief instructor of ETTA BD Samiya Tarannum. She is a Cambridge certified English instructor. Approximately 45 visually impaired people from different parts of Bangladesh participated in the workshop. The visual impaired society Bangladesh (VIPS) offered their cordial co-operation to make this workshop effective.
Visually impaired and physically challenged individuals can also improve their English Speaking and Listening skills through the appropriate use of technology and the guidance of trained and experienced instructors. These citizens can certainly override their physical challenges and become confident and skilled citizens.
The chief instructor of ETTA BD is of the view that visually impaired people can improve their English skill through fun by staying at home and allowing themselves to overcome their limitations to become confident citizens and use their potential for their family, society, and country if they receive proper instruction, adequate logistic support, and utilize technology in the appropriate way.
According to Md.Ariful Islam, one of the founders of ETTA BD, ETTA BD has been working online to improve English speaking and listening skills in women and kids for the past few years with excellent results. Initially they only had a Face-Book page and just one instructor, but after two years they have grown into a team of seven experienced instructors and twenty-five moderators. Over ten thousand students have already enrolled in self -paced English courses offered by English Teaching and Training Arena on different renowned online platforms.
ETTA BD wants to contribute to the sustainable economic development of our country by working with English skills for underprivileged people of our society who are deprived of quality training through which they can transform themselves into skilled citizens and contribute to our society. ETTA BD is committed to facilitating sustainable economic development in our nation.
