Teaching English to Persians
Posted: Fri Oct 03, 2014 12:44 pm
In my community I have the task of teaching English to Persian speaking Baha'is, we're just starting a class.
The goal is to reduce the language barrier and have more unity in the feasts and events.
Currently we are required to hold our feasts in English (in BC, Canada) but a number of Persian friends cannot understand.
We have tried alternating English & Farsi, or translating the program in our newsletter etc.
For consultation we always split into 2 groups. Not so helpful...
I am trying to put together a program that focuses on the English required to make it through a feast in English.
Is there anyone in your area doing something similar? I'd love to compare notes. If you have developed any materials
I would be keen to see those too.
Thank you!
