Our mission is to enhance the learners' ability in spoken languages 

The project aims to provide free sessions on spoken languages to the youths in the community of Ambatofotsy Gara, hosted by Mamelasoa High School. After the training, the learners will be familiar enough with the language they chose.

About the project

English language

The first cohort of English club at Mamelasoa High School has started on the 29th of January 2023 and will carry on every Saturday at 10 am (Madagascar time). The key activities are to:

  • familiarise the learners with spoken English via conversations, listening and analysing scenarios, and playing games. By the end of the year, they will be asked to give a 15 minutes presentation on a chosen topic.

  • Visit other English club centres and libraries.

  • Inviting people from other English club centres to visit the Mamelasoa High School English club and more importantly to interact with the learners.

  • Inviting people from English speaking countries to visit the club.

  • Divide the learners according to their level of understanding into two groups and engage with them accordingly.

The English Club Mamelasoa visited TRC-DREN Analamanga on Thursday 03 August 2023. The students were divided into three groups, and each group was assigned a topic to search for. Hence, they were given 30 min to do some research, then they had to present on their topic afterwards.

Next, we visited Tahala Rarihasina where we've met with Dol'Aj who informed us on HAVATSA-UPEM and assowed us to read some poems, whether our own or someone else's. It was a great experience!

Before heading back to the bus stop, we visited some monuments at Andohalo. That is to break from the environment we used to and to take some pictures.

The day was full, informative and recreative at the same time.
