Breaking Barriers
At StrongQueens, our Breaking Barriers program focuses on helping women immigrants break the English language barrier, either through helping learn English or becoming better at speaking English. This program provides immigrants with a way to communicate with others and our mentors to better their English skills. We hold seminars, lessons, and discussions ranging different skills we feel are beneficial to women immigrants.
#1
Reading Aloud
In this lesson, the mentor leads will work on reading aloud with women immigrants by providing passages ranging easy to hard difficulty from newspapers to books. The group will then breakout into smaller groups to work with others at the same comprehension level to collaborate and learn as a group with mentor leads.
#3
Clear Communication
Know the basics of English but still aren't able to communicate effectively? In this lesson, our mentor leads will work on communicating and how to feel more comfortable with accents while speaking English. The mentor leads will work through different topics, such as describing their daily life routine, health and wellness, and hobbies to allow for practice that will allow participants to practice effective communication.
#2
Developing Confidence
Through holding different activities and discussions on different talking topics, mentor leads will help participants open up and get confident in their English speaking skills. No matter how fluent they are in English, they will walk away with a feeling of confidence in all skills they have that will help them in their daily lives and in the workforce.
