ELC (283)
The English Language Centre conducted a two-day orientation program on academic advising and counselling at the VIP Room of Ibri College of Technology on October 9 and October 10, 2017.
The first session comprised of 28 students from levels 3 and 4 while the following session was attended by 48 students from levels 1 and 2. The said attendees were chosen according to their academic performance and attendance last semester.
The English Language Centre spearheaded the 3rd English Language Teaching Professional Development Workshop with the theme “Paths to Empower, Engage and Enhance” on April 5, 2017 from 7:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. at Ibri College of Technology.
The event kicked off with an opening speech from Mr. Jamil Al-Manasrah, the Head of the ELC, in which he stressed the usefulness of the workshops to teachers. He also mentioned that if teachers were well-equipped with what is new in pedagogy, their performances would be more beneficial to their students if they just focused on one traditional approach in language teaching methodology. Furthermore, he said that the workshop would emerge as a platform for sharing ideas, expertise, and trends among the qualified and learned fraternity.
The ELC welcomed in November 2016 with a celebratory meeting in the VIP room to honour the launch of Tidings. Members of the Media Committee and special guests gave warm-hearted speeches to thank all contributors for their hard work and dedication to the project.
After a brief introduction by Ms Amal, Dr Jamil formally kicked off the occasion by expressing thanks to all those involved in the newsletter, and by describing it as 'an asset to the language centre and our institution.' A sentiment I'm sure we all share. Ms Amal then expressed her appreciation for and to the team, and stated that the next issue will be published in January.
