A group of AKU drivers are currently doing an English course. The course is being run through ELE_net's consultancy services offered to AKU departments. The content of the course is based on a series of common encounters drivers are likely to have with passengers in a typical working day.
The course prioritises the development of learners' confidence when using English in these common work-related contexts. This is done through intensive listening and speaking practice leading to role plays acting out the situations drivers are likely to face.
The drivers have been enthusiastic about the course. They are very motivated to improve their English for work and personal reasons:
“ We need such opportunities to be able to communicate better with foreign clients”- Saleh
“ I can now talk to my children in English and they say very good to me”- Raees
