Masters of Command
This week in English conversation class at the orphanage we have heavily focused on teaching commands, and the dedication has really paid off. At the beginning of the week basic commands were introduced, such as “stand up”, “sit down”, “come here”, “show me the …”, “bring me the …”, and so on. Then, throughout the week as we moved on to different lessons, commands were always included fundamentally into the lesson without specifically mentioning the topic and the range of commands was slowly expanded. Now, the children automatically respond to several important and universal commands in English without having to think or be given any hints. The speed at which they pick up things through a careful combination of repetition and patience is amazing, and it is very satisfying to see how much progress has come in about a month from these daily classes, especially this last week. We are happy we can provide this great advantage to the children and to see it pay off. Here’s to hoping the success continues and their English level soars above their peers in the coming years!
